Harrisburg Senators News Release
For the second time in four days, the Senators pull off a doubleheader sweep. On Sunday at Metro Bank Park, the Senators beat the Bowie Baysox 6-1 and 1-0 winning their sixth and seventh games respectively. Eric Davis pitched 5.1 innings in game one for the win while Oliver Perez started and pitched 6+ innings in game two for his second win as a member of the Senators.
In game one, the Senators fell behind 1-0 in the first inning, the first lead in the series for Bowie, but they didn't lead the game long. Tyler Moore hit a two-out two-run home run in the bottom of the first giving the Sens a 2-1 lead. After scoring a run in the third, Harrisburg broke the game open with three runs in the sixth.
