Chesapeake Baysox Open Season At Home

BOWIE, MD — The Chesapeake Baysox's opening night game Tuesday drew thousands of baseball fans to the stadium.

The Baysox are the Baltimore Orioles’ double A minor league team and on Tuesday night, they defeated the Erie Seawolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, with a final score of 5-4 at Prince George’s Stadium. Chesapeake (3-1) grabbed the first lead of the game in the third inning on an RBI infield single from Jeremiah Jackson and an RBI single from Silas Ardoin against Erie starting right-hander Garrett Burhenn, according to the MLB.

Tavian Josenberger tied things up in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run triple to right-center, his first extra base hit of the season. In the seventh, Enrique Bradfield Jr. drew a one-out walk, advanced to second on a wild pitch and stole third for his first stolen bag of the season. With Creed Willems at the plate, Bradfield scored on a wild pitch from Erie right-hander Dylan Smith (L, 1-1) to give the Baysox a 5-4 lead. Right-handers Dylan Heid and Keagan Gillies (S, 2) threw a scoreless inning each in the eighth and ninth innings to preserve the lead and seal a home opener win for the Baysox, the MLB reported.

The Baysox continues their series against the Erie Seawolves Wednesday night at 6:05 p.m., and on Thursday morning, Friday night, Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. Check out their schedule and buy tickets online.

The centerpiece of the upgrades is a state-of-the-art performance center with enhanced batting arenas, designed primarily to support the Chesapeake Baysox during the season.
