After a significant turnaround by the Bowie Baysox, the Baltimore Orioles Double-A affiliate begin their quest for an Eastern League title tonight in New Jersey as they begin a best-of-five series against the Trenton Thunder, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.
Elite pitching performances and a dominant bullpen helped to get Bowie into the playoffs, and while the pitching has continued to show up in the playoffs, it’s been the offense that has helped to propel Bowie into the Eastern League championship series. If Bowie wants to claim their first EL title since 2015, they are going to have to do so against some major league competition.
