BOWIE, MD. — The Bowie Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, fought back from down five but fell in 10 innings to the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, by a final of 8-6 on Sunday afternoon from Prince George’s Stadium.
Erie (28-22, 66-51) opened the scoring with five runs in the second inning off Bowie starting right-hander Peter Van Loon. Eliezer Alfonzo hit a two-run homer before Austin Murr hit a two out, three-run homer to give Erie a 5-0 lead.
Van Loon finished the afternoon going 3.1 innings with five strikeouts over five runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks in a no decision.
Bowie (25-26, 57-62) answered in the third on a two-run opposite field homer by Samuel Basallo, his 16th of the season. The Orioles No. 3 prospect hit his first homer since August 3 against Somerset. His 16 homers are tied for fourth-most in the Eastern League. The 20-year-old continues to lead the Eastern League in hits with 115 this season.

After a seventh inning RBI double by Gage Workman, Basallo responded with a sacrifice fly, his third RBI of the game.
With the Baysox trailing by two entering the bottom of the ninth, Noelberth Romero led off the inning by being hit by a pitch. Enrique Bradfield Jr. doubled him over to third, his career-high fourth hit of the game, to put the tying runs in scoring position. With one out, Ardoin drove both in on a sharp single up the middle to tie the score at six and force the game into extra innings for a third time this series.
