The Bowie Baysox on Thursday are honoring victims and others affected by the shooting last month at the Capital Gazette offices in Annapolis.
Half of all ticket proceeds from the 7:05 p.m. game against the Erie SeaWolves will go to funds set up to support counseling, medical expense, funeral expenses and other costs incurred by victims, co-workers and family members.
