Box Score

Bowie Baysox 1, Akron RubberDucks (CLE) 0

You’re here to read about Jackson Holliday, so let’s talk Jackson Holliday. After getting two hits in his Double-A debut on Friday, he was right back at it last night. Holliday picked up three singles last night in four at-bats. He’s still looking for his first Double-A extra-base hit, but we’ll let him ease into the next level with five hits in his first nine at-bats.

The only non-Holliday hit in the game came from leadoff batter Billy Cook. Cook hit the first pitch he saw in the game over the left field wall for his 11th home run of the year and the game’s only run.

Four Bowie pitchers combined to one-hit Akron, starting with Alex Pham who pitched four hitless innings with two walks. The rehabbing Cionel Pérez followed with 1.2 innings. He walked one and struck out three. The recently promoted Ryan Long vultured the win with 2.1 innings pitched. He gave up the only hit and walked two.
