Aquino (3-2) gave up one run (none earned) on two hits while walking two and fanning six in his six plus innings of work. LHP Luis Gonzalez (3.0 IP, 2 BB, 3 K) closed things out for the Baysox to notch his team-leading sixth save of the year.

Portland had runners at second and third with one out in the third, but Aquino fanned Chad De La Guerra and Jantzen Witte to end the frame.
Anthony Santander's solo shot off of Sea Dogs starter Dedgar Jimenez came as part of a two-run sixth which stretched the Bowie lead to 4-0. The home run was Santander's second of the year. Martin Cervenka delivered an RBI single later in the frame.
Jimenez (1-4) gave up four runs on seven hits to go along with three walks and four strikeouts in 6.0 IP.

All three runs were charged to McAvoy (0.0 IP, H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB).
Ryan Mountcastle (2-4, 2 R) and Perez (2-5, RBI) both had multi-hit games for manager Gary Kendall's squad.
