Baysox starter Ariel Miranda struck out a career-high ten batters and the Baysox bats rebounded in a 9-1 win over Harrisburg Saturday night at Metro Bank Park.
Miranda (3-1), who did not strike out a batter through his first two innings of work, got rolling fanning ten batters in his seven inning start. Not only was that a career-high for the Cuban left-hander, it also tied a Baysox season-high. Branden Kline struck out ten batters in Richmond on April 12th.
Bowie was able to break a 1-1 tied in the fifth inning. 2B Corban Joseph singled and then scored on a double down the left field line from 1B Trey Mancini. Joseph, Mancini and 3B Drew Dosch would all register three-hit games in the win.
The Baysox blew the game open with a two out rally in the sixth inning. After SS Derrik Gibson and Dosch walked, CF Glynn Davis singled a run home. He then stole second base and two runs scored on a Joesph chopper into center field. Later in the frame LF Quincy Latimore singled home a fourth run and the Baysox led 6-1. Bowie added three more runs in the seventh inning.
After Miranda’s dominant effort, RHP Jon Keller worked two scoreless innings in his second Baysox outing to close out the win. C Chance Sisco had a two-hit night in the win. With an Akron defeat, the Baysox lead the division by 4.5 games. Altoona is 5.5 back with Richmond eight out.
