The Baysox rallied from a two-run deficit and took the lead in the seventh, but were unable to hold on as Richmond took game two of the series 4-3.

The Flying Squirrels opened the scoring in the fifth with a two-run homer by Vince Fernandez. Bowie loaded the bases in the seventh, taking the lead on a three-RBI double by Robert Neustrom. Richmond tied the game in the eighth, as Heliot Ramos went deep to left center.
