Akron RubberDucks News Release
Bowie Baysox second baseman Adam Hall hit a game-winning sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning to give his a team a 3-2 win and third straight victory over the Akron RubberDucks at Prince George's Stadium Thursday night.
Turning Point
In a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the 10th inning, Bowie had designated hitter Dylan Harris placed at second base to begin the inning against Akron left-hander Jake Miednik. Right fielder Zach Watson placed a bunt single to the third-base side, and after an intentional walk to pinch hitter Jordan Westburg, Hall hit a line drive to right fielder George Valera, who threw to catcher Bo Naylor to try to get Harris, who avoided the tag and scored the winning run.
Mound Presence
Left-hander Logan T. Allen started with five scoreless innings and carried a 1-0 lead into the sixth inning. He allowed consecutive singles to start the sixth and a two-out double down the third-base line by shortstop Joey Ortiz gave Bowie a 2-1 lead. Right-hander Jerson Ramírez pitched a scoreless seventh inning, and right-hander Nic Enright pitched two perfect innings to send the game to extra innings.
Duck Tales
Akron broke a scoreless tie against left-hander Drew Rom in the fifth inning. Naylor walked, designated hitter Micah Pries lined a single to left field, and first baseman Marcos Gonzalez grounded an RBI single to right field. Later behind, 2-1, Akron tied the game in the eighth inning, when center fielder Julian Escobedo singled against right-hander Adam Stauffer, advanced on two groundouts, and scored on Valera's game-tying infield single off right-hander Logan Gillaspie.
