Live: Baysox vs. Connecticut -- No surprise tonight

So far, the game is moving just as expected.

Baysox starting pitcher Brian Matusz struck out two of the three batters he faced in the top of the second inning, including Connecticut designated hitter Tyler LaTorre looking on a devastating curve ball to end the frame.

Seriously, I'm not exaggerating when I say that Matusz's curve ball is probably the best I've seen it so far this year. I know he typically throws it well, but it's really moving tonight.

The Baysox went quietly in the bottom of the second. Bowie right fielder Dave Krynzel and second baseman Paco Figueroa each popped out to first base, and catcher Adam Donachie struck out to end the inning.

It's back to the mound for Matusz. The curve ball is still looking pretty dangerous, and he has also throw a few impressive change-ups. Matusz retired the first two batters before Connecticut second baseman Brock Bond singled for the second time in the game.

Matusz struck out Defenders center fielder Mike McBryde to end the top of the third. He has struck out four batters and thrown 28 of his 38 pitches for strikes.

It's scoreless as we head to the fourth inning, and the Baysox are still looking for their first hit.

With Tillman likely getting the call up on wednesday, who do you expect to get the call up from Bowie. Is it safe to expect Matusz?

RESPONSE FROM DEAN: Ron, I wouldn't assume anything, but I'm going to do some digging after the game to see what I can find out. Radhames Liz is another possibility to return to Norfolk.
