Clark Helps Bowie Top Richmond, 3-1
Starter goes eight innings as Baysox win the day after a long Saturday night game.
Zach Clark threw eight solid innings at the right time, helping Bowie to a 3-1 victory over Richmond Sunday afternoon at Prince George's Stadium.
The Baysox needed a good effort from Clark (3-1) since their bullpen had been wiped out in Saturday night's 18-inning victory, and the former UMBC pitcher gave it to them. He gave up one run on three hits in eight innings.
Jose Diaz then got his league-best ninth save.
