Summary
Bowie's Ademar Rifaela stroked a decisive, two-run triple in the bottom of the seventh inning Friday night, lifting the Baysox to a come-from-behind, 5-3 victory over the Akron RubberDucks at Prince George's Stadium in Bowie, Md.

Turning Point
The Baysox (8-6) turned a 2-2 tie into a 5-2 lead with a three-run rally in the seventh inning against Akron lefty David Speer (0-1). After the first two hitters were retired, Speer issued back-to-back walks. Rifaela then drilled a triple off the center field fence., driving in both runners, to give Bowie a two-run lead. Martin Cervenka, Bowie's catcher, added an RBI single to extend the lead to 5-2.
Mound Presence
Left-hander Sean Brady started for the RubberDucks (7-7). He worked five innings and allowed two runs on four hits. In his third RubberDucks start, Brady fanned a season-high six batters, but counter-balanced that with four walks.
Duck Tales
Sicnarf Loopstok clubbed a solo homer leading off the fourth inning. It was his second of the season. He added a sacrifice fly in the fifth when the Ducks took a brief, 2-0 lead. Third baseman Joe Sever had a three-hit night, collecting a double and a pair of singles. He was 3-5, officially.
