Chesapeake Baysox News Release
BRIDGEWATER, N.J - The Bowie Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, lost on a walk-off single against the Somerset Patriots, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, by a final score of 2-1 on Wednesday afternoon at TD Bank Ballpark.
With the game tied at one in the ninth inning with two outs and the winning runs on second and first, Yankees No. 2 prospect Spencer Jones lined a single against right-hander Keagan Gillies (L, 0-1) to bring home the winning run from second base.
It's the first walk-off loss by the Baysox this season.
In the first inning, Dylan Beavers gave Bowie (23-23) an early 1-0 lead three batters in with an RBI single into right field. The Orioles No. 7 prospect has now driven in a run in his last three games.
Somerset (23-24) evened up the score in the second on an Aaron Palensky RBI single off starting right-hander Seth Johnson. Johnson threw four innings and gave up just the one run on five hits with one walk over two strikeouts in a no decision. The Orioles No. 10 prospect finishes the month of May with a 2.79 ERA in five starts.
The game stayed at 1-1 from the third inning until the walk-off hit as pitching took over from both sides. Somerset starting right-hander Zach Messinger struck out a season-high 10 batters over 5.1 innings and the bullpen of Colby White, Leonardo Pestana and Kevin Stevens (W, 3-0) combined for 3.2 innings of scoreless relief with eight strikeouts.
Reliever Carlos Tavera punched out four batters over four shutout innings and allowed just one hit. The 25-year-old right-hander has not allowed a run over his last 16.2 innings pitched on the road.
Samuel Basallo collected a game-high three hits and Anthony Servideo doubled twice. Basallo is now batting .306 in the month of May after his team-leading 15th multi-hit game of the season. Servideo is 6-for-12 at the plate over his last three games.
Bowie struggled mightily with runners in scoring position, going 2-for-18 on the afternoon and stranding 12 men on base.
The Baysox continue their six-game road trip against Somerset tomorrow night at 6:35 pm. RHP Alex Pham (1-1, 6.87 ERA) will get the start for Bowie against RHP Bailey Dees (2-3, 4.15 ERA) for Somerset.
