Tonight, after a three-day hiatus, the Erie SeaWolves return to the diamond to face the Bowie Baysox for the first time in 2019. After having three-fourths of their series versus Binghamton postponed, the SeaWolves will turn to RHP Logan Shore in game one, coming off a mixed season-debut on 4/8 vs. ALT. He allowed a four-run fourth inning and took the loss, but struck out five over 5.0 innings and did not walk a batter. For his second start in the DET system, he will be opposed by RHP Tyler Herb, who tossed 4.0 innings of two-run (one earned) ball on five hits, with three strikeouts in an extra-inning win for Bowie on 4/9 vs. RIC.
