AKRON, OH — The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, rallied late to defeat the Akron RubberDucks, the Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, by a final of 4-2 in 10 innings on Wednesday night from Canal Park.
Chesapeake (24-28) fought back from an early two-run deficit in the fifth after an RBI groundout to the pitcher from Anthony Servideo. Servideo has now driven in a run in back-to-back games.
Starting pitcher Trace Bright threw a season-high six innings and struck out a season-high seven batters allowing two runs on three hits and three walks in a no decision. The Orioles No. 25 prospect set down the final seven batters faced and punched out four of the last six.
Tip of the cap to Trace! 🧢
