(Bowie, MD) - Baysox starter Chris Waters threw seven outstanding innings for the Baysox and earned his third win of the season. Waters allowed only one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four.

The Baysox scored first in the third inning. With one out, Blake Davis reached on an infield single to the shortstop. Davis then stole second base, and advanced to third on a groundout by Sebastien Boucher. Davis scored on a Jonathan Tucker single. Tucker's RBI single was his sixth consecutive trip to the plate where he reached base. The Baysox added another run in the fourth when Kennard Jones drew a bases loaded walk.

The Baysox biggest blow came with two outs in the sixth. With Jeff Nettles on first, Ryan Finan connected on an 0-1 pitch, launching it over the wall in right-center field for a two run homer. The Baysox would add their final run in the eight when Finan hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Reimold.

Jim Miller relieved Chris Waters to start the eighth inning and retired the first batter he faced. It was the only out he recorded in the inning. The next batter, Brandon Pinckney, hit a solo homerun to left center field. Miller then allowed a single to Brandon Chaves, and Chaves scored on a Josh Rodriguez double. Miller hit the next batter and was relieved by Gerardo Casadiego. Casadiego came into the game with one out and two runners on in a 4-3 game. He allowed a single to left to load the bases before striking out Matt Whitney and Ryan Goleski to get out of the inning. Casadiego pitched a scoreless ninth to record his first save of the season.
