Harrisburg grabbed a 1-0 lead with a run in the first as Stephen Perez drew a one-out walk, advanced to second on a single and scored on Dan Gamache's RBI single.
The Baysox quickly struck back in the home half of the frame when Cedric Mullins led off with an infield single, stole second, took third on a groundout and scored on Ryan Mountcastle's two-out RBI double to tie the game at one apiece.
In the top of the third, a single and a walk put two men on before Juan Soto delivered an RBI single and Gamache plated a run via an RBI fielder's choice to give the Senators a 3-1 advantage.
Baysox starter Hunter Harvey (n/d) gave up three runs on four hits while walking two and fanning five in four innings of work.
