Baysox Score Twice in 13th to Edge Altoona

Britton, Florimon's RBI hits in top of 13th give Bowie a wild 12-10 victory.

Buck Britton got a tie-breaking RBI double in the top of the 13th, and Pedro Florimon added a run-scoring single later in the inning to give Bowie a wild 12-10 victory over host Altoona Saturday night. 

The Baysox appeared ready for a dramatic victory when they scored six runs in the ninth -- with L.J. Hoes' three-run double the big hit -- to take a 10-6 lead. But Altoona rallied for four in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings.

Joe Mahoney started the rally in the 13th with a one-out double, and Britton followed with his two-base hit. He later scored on Florimon's single.
