In the fourth inning, Baysox starting pitcher Troy Patton threw six of his 11 pitches for strikes. Senators center fielder Elijah Dukes popped out to first base, third baseman Joel Guzman lined to center field, and first baseman Matt Whitney hit a slow roller that Patton fielded and flipped to first base.

Baysox second baseman Miguel Abreu and center fielder Danny Figueroa led off the bottom of the fourth with back-to-back singles. Catcher Adam Donachie grounded into a 5-4-3 double play, and right fielder Ambiorix Concepcion struck out swinging to end the inning.

Senators designated hitter Luke Montz slapped a single past Abreu to lead off the top of the fifth against Patton. Montz was retired on a fielder's choice, and catcher Jhonatan Solano hit into a double play to end the inning.

Patton only threw eight pitches (six strikes) in the fifth. According to my count, which is unofficial, he has thrown 66 pitches (41 strikes) so far in the game.

Baysox shortstop Robert Valido hit a ground ball to second base to start the bottom of the fifth. Senators starting pitcher Justin Jones was late covering first base, and Valido reached on an infield single. Center fielder Dave Krynzel struck out looking for Bowie, and left fielder Jonathan Tucker singled to center field.

Both runners moved up when Harrisburg center fielder Elijah Dukes threw the ball past his cutoff man, and then Baysox first baseman Brandon Snyder was walked intentionally to load the bases. Third baseman Mike Costanzo followed with a grand slam to put the Baysox in front, 6-0.
