MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com-AKRON, OH – The Aeros claimed a 7-3 triumph over the visiting Bowie Baysox in front of 3,613 fans at Canal Park Sunday afternoon, taking the final three games of the four-game series. The offense was in full force again with nine walks and a dozen hits, helping starter Michael Tejera to his first win as an Aero. Akron improved to 59-36 with the victory and maintained its six-game cushion in the Southern Division, while the Baysox (52-43) dropped to fourth place.

Bowieput up a run in the first inning as Daniel Figueroa (11-16 in the series) singled, stole second and came around to score on a RBI base hit to left by Ambiorix Concepcion. Consecutive singles opened the third inning for the Baysox, and after Figueroa put down a sacrifice bunt Concepcion shot a ball up the middle. Second baseman Cristo Arnal fielded it but his flip to Carlos Rivero at the bag was off the mark, allowing Jason White to score. Third baseman Kyle Haines was backing up the play however, and made a heads-up play to throw out Jonathan Tucker at the plate.

Haines then led off the bottom half of the inning with a knock to center, and Matt McBride drilled a two-out RBI double off the wall in left-center to cut the deficit in half. Akron then pulled ahead in the fourth, as John Drennen collected a one-out walk, Armando Camacaro yanked a double inside the third base bag, and Haines looped a run-scoring single to right to tie the game at 2-2. Jose Constanza then walked to load the bases, and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Arnal gave the Aeros a 3-2 lead. The Baysox would collect a single run to tie the score in the fifth on a pair of singles by Figueroa and Concepcion, but that would be it for the Bowie offense for the rest of the afternoon.
