HARTFORD, CT. — The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, lost on a walk-off for a second consecutive game by a final score of 8-7 in 10 innings against the Hartford Yard Goats, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, on Friday night from Dunkin’ Park.
Chesapeake (11-14) trailed 6-3 after six innings but pulled within a run in the seventh on a two-run homer by Creed Willems. The Orioles No. 12 prospect struck again in the ninth off Hartford right-hander Collin Baumgartner (W, 1-1) with a one out, game-tying opposite field solo homer for his second homer of the game and his fourth of the season. It’s Willems’ first multi-homer game of the season and the second of his career.
