Baysox Clinch Series With 7-5 Win

Feliz, Bannon combine for six of team’s 14 hits.

Manchester, NH – Anderson Feliz’s ninth-inning RBI single carried the Baysox to a 7-5 series-clinching win over New Hampshire Thursday. Four different players had mulit-hit games in the win.

Bowie got off to a hot start, with the first six batters reaching base in the top of the first inning. Mason McCoy led off the frame with a double, and after a single from Ryan McKenna, McCoy came in to score on an Austin Hays two-bagger. Yusniel Diaz then walked, and Anderson Feliz hit the Baysox third double of the inning, scoring Hays. Carlos Perez drove in Diaz with a sacrifice fly later in the frame to give Bowie a 3-0 advantage.

The Baysox added to the lead in the third. After Feliz and Rylan Bannon singled to start the inning, Perez picked up another RBI, again on a sacrifice fly, to extend the advantage to 4-0.

New Hampshire got a run back on a solo home run in the fourth inning, but Bowie answered quickly in the next turn at the plate. Diaz singled to start the inning and was doubled home two batters later by Bannon, making it 5-1.

In the seventh, New Hampshire came back with four runs and tied the game at 5-5. After an error to start the inning, the Fisher Cats put two men on with two outs for Christian Williams, who hit an RBI single to make it 5-2. On the very next pitch, Chad Spanberger hit a three-run home run to tie the score.

All four runs in the inning came against Baysox starter Marcos Molina, but they were all unearned due to the error that began the frame. In all, Molina struck out a season-high eight batters in a 6.2 inning effort in which he yielded just one earned run. Pedro Araujo came in to record the last out of the frame.

After Araujo tossed a scoreless eighth, the Baysox grabbed the lead back in the top of the ninth. McKenna and Hays started the inning with singles, and after a fielder’s choice, Feliz picked up his third hit of the contest, an RBI single to bring in McKenna and put Bowie ahead 6-5. The Baysox tacked on another run when Diaz scored on a throwing error.

After Araujo got the first out of the bottom of the ninth, Tyler Erwin came in and nailed down the win. Araujo picked his first win of the season, and Erwin earned his seventh save.

The Baysox will travel to Portland to open a three-game series tomorrow. This will be the first meeting of the season between the two clubs. Hunter Harvey will be making the start for Bowie. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.

The Baysox return home Tuesday, June 11th for a week-long homestand. Father's Day Weekend will feature Fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights. Get tickets at 301-464-4865 or purchase online at baysox.com.

Frederick Keys News Release

 

For Immediate Release: June 6, 2019

 

WOOD DUCKS WALK OFF IN 10^TH

RIPKEN ACCOUNTS FOR LONE RUN

 

KINSTON, NC –The Down East Wood Ducks (42-18) got a walk off fielder’s choice in the bottom of the 10^th to defeat the Frederick Keys (28-30) 2-1 on Thursday night at Grainger Stadium. It was the second time the Keys had been victimized by a walk-off in 2019. With the setback and a loss by the Blue Rocks, the orange and black remain 8.5 games back of first place with 11 games to play.

 

Starting with a runner at second base to open the 10^th, the Wood Ducks saw the Keys intentionally walked Ryan Dorrow to set up a double play. Instead, the home team got a deep flyout by Diosbel Arias off Diógenes Almengo to move both runners to second and third base. That brought up Sam Huff who hit a groundball to short with the infield drawn in. Sean Miller picked and threw home from a knee, but Leody Taveras slid in ahead of the tag of Jean Carrillo to give Down East the win.

 

The lone run for the Keys came on a solo home run by Ryan Ripken to right field off Josh Advocate. Leaving the bat at 109 mph, it was Ripken’s third home run of the season.

 

Both teams struggled situationally, with the two sides going a collective 1-for-16 with men in scoring position and leaving a combined 19 runners on base. After stranding five on base through the first four innings, Down East plated its first run in the fourth on a Yonny Hernandez single that scored Yohel Pozo from third.

 

Joe Kuzia (2-0) earned the win, working two scoreless innings to go with three strikeouts. Almengo (2-2) suffered the loss, giving up an unearned run over two innings. He walked one and struck out one.

 

The Keys and Wood Ducks play the second game of their series on Friday night. Right-hander David Lebron (2-0, 2.87) starts for Frederick against Down East left-hander Sal Mendez (2-0, 2.66). First pitch is at 7:00 p.m. and the broadcast can be heard on frederickkeys.com and the TuneIn radio app.
