The Harrisburg Senators knocked off the Bowie Baysox 11-0 Friday night at Prince George's Stadium. The Senators offense scored double-digit runs for the seventh time this season and Jaron Long worked seven shutout innings for the second straight start. 

The Senators jumped to an early lead with a run in the first. Hunter Jones led off the game with a walk and advanced to third on a stolen base and a groundout. That brought up Dan Gamache who singled in Jones to give the Senators a 1-0 lead. 
Gamache batted with the bases loaded in the second and drove in another pair with a groundball single into center. Taylor Gushue followed with an RBI single of his own to give the team a 4-0 advantage. 
Baysox starter Keegan Akin (8-6) surrendered four runs on three this and four walks across two innings. 
The Senators added another run in the sixth when Jones singled in Collier, who reached base on a fielder's choice.
Gushue hit a leadoff home run in the seventh, his 10th of the season, and an additional run scored later in the frame on a run-scoring fielder's choice by Adam Brett Walker.
Senators starter Jaron Long (3-6) tossed seven shutout, limiting the Baysox to four hits while striking out two and walking one. The right-hander has thrown 19 consecutive scoreless innings dating back to his start on June 26 against Altoona. 
With the Senators ahead 7-0 in the eighth, the team scored three runs in a nine-batter frame. Following back-to-back singles from Jones and Carter Kieboom to start the inning, Jake Noll plated a run on an infield single. The next batter, Drew Ward, hit a line drive double into center to drive in another run. With the bases loaded, Adam Brett Walker took a walk which forced in the Senators' third run of the frame.
Harrisburg added its final run in the ninth on a run scoring single from Noll.
Ismael Guillòn and Austen Williams pitched a scoreless final two innings to finish the 11-0 shutout victory. 
Noll led the Senators with three hits while Gamache drove in three runs for the second straight night to pace the club. Five Senators finished with multiple hits, while eight of the nine batters had at least one hit and all nine batters reached base safely on either a hit or a walk. Kieboom went 2-4 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.
