The Erie SeaWolves (37-41) kicked off a five game series with a thrilling 4-3 win over the Bowie Baysox (34-45).

The SeaWolves struck first in the opening frame against Bowie starter Christian Binford. Will Maddox and Daz Cameron got aboard with back-to-back one-out singles before an RBI-single from Dominic Ficociello brought Maddox around to score while Cameron advanced to third. Afterwards, a sacrifice fly from Kody Eaves allowed Daz to come home as Erie took an early 2-0 lead.

The Baysox answered in the third inning against starter Beau Burrows. Erick Salcedo got on with a one-out walk before Jaycob Brugman sent a two-run home run to right-center, as Bowie tied the game 2-2.

The Wolves responded in the bottom of the third as Ficociello got aboard via a hit by pitch before three consecutive singles from Eaves, Jake Rogers and Josh Lester. Lester's knock brought in Ficociello to give Erie the 3-2 lead.

The Baysox replied in the fourth, as Aderlin Rodriguez got on with a one-out double. Ademar Rifaela brought him home on a single to knot it up at 3-3.

The Howlers came back in the seventh. Cameron smoked a triple and managed to come home due to a throwing error on Rifaela as Erie reclaimed the lead 4-3. It would prove to be the deciding run as Erie's pitching prevented any opposing comeback.

John Schreiber earned his 9th save of the season, giving up a lone hit in one inning. Starter Beau Burrows went 5.2 innings, giving up three runs on seven hits with a walk and three strikeouts.
