The Bowie Baysox won their eighth game in a row on Friday night, behind a six-run fourth inning, and Blaine Knight earned the win in his first Double-A start as Bowie beat the Hartford Yard Goats, 6-2. Bowie now owns a .808 winning percentage, the best among all minor league teams.
Adley Rutschman, Patrick Dorrian, J.C. Escarra, and Chris Hudgins all tallied consecutive singles in the fourth inning, and all four of them came around to score. Bowie sent 10 men to the plate and finished the inning having plated six runs.
