For much of the summer, the Orioles minor league team that has grabbed the most headlines were the record-setting Delmarva Shorebirds. Unfortunately, the Salisbury outfit’s season ended last week as they were swept away in the opening round of the South Atlantic League playoffs. At the same time, the O’s affiliate down in the Gulf Coast League had their season cut short, despite owning the best record in the league, due to impending hurricanes. That left just one farm team in action: the Double-A Bowie Baysox.
It was not the easiest path to the playoffs for the Baysox.
