The Baysox bounced back as home runs from Cedric Mullins and Martin Cervenka paced Bowie to a 7-2 win Sunday afternoon in Binghamton, NY. With the win coupled with an Erie rainout, the Baysox are now tied for first in the Western Division.
The Baysox got a strong pitching performance from starter Tyler Herb, who returned from Triple-A Norfolk, going 6 innings to get his first Baysox win of the season. Cody Sedlock followed and did not allow a hit in three innings to register his first professional save.
Tied at 2-2 in the sixth inning, Mullins led off the inning with a solo home run to right off the batting cage behind the right field wall. Rylan Bannon led off the seventh inning with a triple to center and scored on a Preston Palmeiro RBI-groundrule double to go up 4-2. Palmeiro later scored on Mason McCoy’s second RBI-single of the afternoon.
In the ninth inning, Cervenka lifted a two-run shot to left field off of a knuckleball to put the game away. It was his fourth home run of the year.
