Making his Baysox debut, Kipper (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits to go along with a walk and three strikeouts in five innings of work. RHP Scott McGough (1.0 IP, K) retired the side in order in the ninth to notch his fifth save of the year.
Bowie starter Tanner Scott (n/d) surrendered one hit while walking three and fanning five in his 3.0 IP. Scott stranded two runners in each of his three innings.
