Bridgewater, New Jersey - The Bowie Baysox (6-2, 33-44) defeated the Somerset Patriots (3-5, 47-30) by a final score of 5-4 at TD Bank Ballpark on Wednesday night.

Norby then brought home Andrew Daschbach the following inning on a groundout before Colton Cowser scored J.D. Mundy on an RBI single to make the score 3-0.
Cowser (2) struck again in the top of the fifth with a solo home run to center field that gave Bowie a 4-0 advantage.
The Patriots climbed back into the game in the bottom of the sixth on a Brandon Lockridge (7) solo home run as well as Jesus Bastidas and Mickey Gasper RBI singles that cut the deficit to 4-3.
Mundy added a final insurance run in the top of the eighth on an RBI double to knock in Hudson Haskin and put the Baysox on top 5-3.
Gasper (5) added another run on the board in the bottom of the ninth on a solo shot to straight away center for the 5-4 final.
Drew Rom (5-1) tossed 5.2 frames and allowed three earned runs with four strikeouts to earn the win. Randy Vasquez (0-3) allowed four runs across five innings in the loss. Jensen Elliot (2) recorded the final three outs of the game to notch the save.
