The Bowie Baysox, the Orioles’ Double-A minor league affiliate, announced Friday that it will donate half of its ticket sales proceeds from their July 19 home game to two charities established to help and honor the victims and families affected by the June 28 shootings at the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis that killed five staffers.
Tickets to the game against the Erie Seawolves at Prince George’s Stadium can be purchased online at baysox.com until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday. Proceeds go to the Capital Gazette Families Fund and the Capital Gazette Memorial Scholarship Fund.
“The Annapolis Capital and its affiliate papers — including the Bowie Blade-News and West County Gazette — have been such important partners to the Baysox since our first game in 1993,” Baysox general manager Brian Shallcross said in statement.
