After making the Eastern League playoffs and beating the Nationals Double-A affiliate in the first round, the Orioles Double-A prospects of the Bowie Baysox only have to get through Double-A Trenton, a Yankees farm team, to win their league title in a best-of-five series that gets under way tonight.
Unfortunately and even unfairly for the Baysox, they’re going to have to do more than just triumph over their Double-A counterparts in order to win the league title in the series. Trenton is scheduled to have MLB-caliber starting pitchers in each of the first two games of the series, with lefty Jordan Montgomery set to start tonight’s series opener and righty Luis Severino set to pitch in the second game tomorrow.
