Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Yesterday the Orioles doubled up on the exhibition fun, playing their first pair of split squad games this spring, with varying results. In the home contest at Ed Smith Stadium, the O’s busted out the bats for an 11-7 victory over the Tigers, while the road crew fell to the Braves, 6-5, in North Port.
One thing that both halves of the club did was hit dingers. The Sarasota crew was particularly prolific, bashing a whopping six home runs against an overmatched Tigers staff, including Austin Hays’ third — the most of any O’s regular — and Adam Frazier’s first.
