HARTFORD, CT. - The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, lost on a walk-off for a second consecutive game by a final score of 8-7 in 10 innings against the Hartford Yard Goats, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, on Friday night from Dunkin' Park.

Chesapeake (11-14) trailed 6-3 after six innings but pulled within a run in the seventh on a two-run homer by Creed Willems. The Orioles No. 12 prospect struck again in the ninth off Hartford right-hander Collin Baumgartner (W, 1-1) with a one out, game-tying opposite field solo homer for his second homer of the game and his fourth of the season. It's Willems' first multi-homer game of the season and the second of his career.

On the first pitch of the top of the 10th, Noelberth Romero grounded a go-ahead RBI single into left field to score Anthony Servideo from second to give the Baysox a 7-6 lead. Romero also homered for the first time this season in the fifth with a solo homer against Hartford starting right-hander Jack Mahoney.

With the Baysox ahead by one in the bottom of the 10th, Hartford's (16-8) Jose Cordova hit a one out, walk-off two-run homer off right-hander Preston Johnson (L, 1-2) to clinch Hartford's fifth straight win and this week's series over Chesapeake.

Willems, Douglas Hodo III, and Tavian Josenberger all recorded two hits each with Willems driving in a game-high three RBI. Servideo also drove in a pair with a two-run single in the sixth. Jalen Vasquez collected a single in the fifth inning in his Double-A debut after earning promotion from High-A Aberdeen earlier in the afternoon.

Chesapeake has now lost a season-long five in a row.

Chesapeake continues its 12-game road trip against Hartford tomorrow night at 7:10 pm from Dunkin' Park. RHP Blake Adams is scheduled to start for the Yard Goats against a pitcher to be determined for the Baysox.

The next Baysox homestand is scheduled to start on Tuesday, May 13 at 6:05 pm against the Akron RubberDucks, the Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians.
