After seven games and two opponents, the Baysox losing streak came to an end Saturday night in a 10-0 shutout victory over New Hampshire.
Bowie took the lead in the second with a four-run inning and never looked back.
The second inning was highlighted by a two-run homer from Alexis Torres to dead center. The Baysox loaded the bases in the third and scored a run after drawing a walk. They added another run in the third on a groundout that scored the runner from third. Bowie added two runs in both the fifth and sixth innings to secure their first win in over a week.
