The Baysox had their chances, but couldn't take advantage of them, and struggled in the field Thursday, all of which helped Harrisburg escape with an 8-6 victory.
Bowie (14-13) made one error but had a lot of plays that could have been ruled errors in this game. Plus, the Baysox were just 3-for-16 with runners in scoring position.
The game-breaking play came in the top of the ninth when Ronnie Welty appeared to lose Tyler Moore's line drive to right in the mid-afternoon sun. The ball fell in by the foul line—an error couldn't be ruled because Welty never touched the ball—and two runs scored to break a 6-6 tie.
