BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox announce today that the Oriole Advocates will collect new and used sports equipment at Prince George's Stadium Saturday, August 27, as the Baysox take on the Binghamton Mets at 6:35 p.m. The organization collects the equipment for its Cardboard To Leather program, which provides equipment to underprivileged children in developing countries.
