HARTFORD, CT. - The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, took the series finale with a 5-1 win over the Hartford Yard Goats, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, on Sunday afternoon from Dunkin' Park.
Chesapeake (13-14) scored the game's first runs in the second on a two-run homer by Douglas Hodo III off Hartford starting right-hander Connor Staine (L, 1-2). It's the second homer of the series for Hodo and the fourth of the season, which is tied for the team lead. The outfielder finished with seven hits on the week.

The Baysox extended their lead with three runs in the eighth and ninth innings. Max Wagner doubled in two in the eighth, one of his two extra base hits of the game, and Frederick Bencosme doubled in a run in the ninth to give Chesapeake a 5-1 lead.
The bullpen of Houston Roth, Daniel Lloyd, and Keagan Gillies combined for four shutout innings and five strikeouts. All three relievers combined to set down the final 12 Hartford (16-10) batters in a row.
