What a game for Ian Parmley as he went a perfect 4-for-4 with a home run and 4 RBIs.  Parmley hit a solo home run in the 4th and raked throughout the game as he came up big whenever ducks were on the pond.  Roemon Fields also hit a two-run homer to add to the run total in the 4th.  Rowdy Tellez got his swing going in this one, going 2-for-3 with a pair of runs and he even stole his first base of the season.

The offensive outburst backed a great start for Shane Dawson.  Dawson pitched 6.1 innings and held the Baysox to one earned run on three hits and two walks.  The bullpen followed Dawson’s start with a solid 2.2 innings of work and shut down the Baysox.
