Carlos Rojas led off the bottom of the third with a walk and moved to second when Lou Montanez singled to left.

Bowie would add another pair of runs in the sixth inning. Blake Davis led off the inning and broke his bat on a chopper up the middle. Second baseman Marco Yepez fielded the ball on the grass behind second and threw to first, but he had no chance to retire Davis.

Lou Montanez grounded into a double play, scoring Davis and moving Tucker to third. Tucker scored the Baysox final run on a wild pitch with Jeff Nettles at the plate.
