RHP Michael Kelly entered in the seventh and threw three scoreless innings, striking out four Howler batters.
Offensively, the Baysox (43-53) received hits from seven of the nine batters and cracked the scoreboard in the fifth inning. With one away, Ryan Mountcastle grounded an infield single down the third base line. The ensuing throw from Josh Lester went awry, allowing Jaycob Brugman to trot home and cut the deficit to 7-1.
Aderlin Rodriguez retook sole possession of the team lead in RBI two innings later, lining a two-run double down the left field line to score Erick Salcedo and Corban Joseph (who recorded his ninth three-hit game of the season). For the Baysox first baseman, the double plated RBI No. 48 and 49, and gave Rodriguez five RBI in his last three games, dating back to the Altoona series.

Friday night is also when Bowie Celebrates Bowie, with the Baysox donning jerseys in honor of David Bowie's "Major Tom" character. A silent auction on the jerseys will also occur during the game.
