BaysoxBowie fell behind early in the regular season finale and dropped an 8-3 decision to the Erie SeaWolves on Labor Day afternoon. Now the Baysox will turn the page to postseason play ready to take on Altoona in the best-of-five series to begin Wednesday night in Altoona, PA.

In the regular season closer, Erie got to Baysox starter Dennis Torres for seven runs in 3 and 1/3rd innings to lead 7-0 early. Bowie committed two errors to allow two unearned runs in the second inning but Erie did not slow down. They scored three runs on three doubles in the third inning and had the first four batters reach in the fourth to lead 7-0.

The Baysox rallied with a Mike Yastrzemski RBI-single in the sixth inning. In the seventh frame, Trey Mancini singled home a run followed by a SAC fly from Brandon Snyder to bring the Baysox within 7-3. That was as close as the Baysox would get.

Bowie got strong relief from Jon Keller who retired the final eight batters he faced. Andrew Robinson then worked a scoreless seventh inning before Donnie Hart allowed a run in the eighth.

The Baysox finished the season 79-63, their third highest win total in franchise history. The 2015 season is the second time Bowie has won the regular season division title and the first time in seven seasons. The Baysox are in search of a first title in their franchise’s history.
