Curve Take Series Decider Over Baysox, With O'Neill Providing the Solitary Run
The Chesapeake Baysox suffered a 6-4 loss to the Altoona Curve in their series finale, marking the end of a competitive series. The Baysox, however, have announced that single-game tickets, ticket plans, and group offers for the 2025 season are now available for purchase.
The game started with a bang as Max Wagner drove in a run for Altoona with an RBI single, while Creed Willems, the 22-year-old catcher and first baseman for the Baysox, drew a walk in the first inning. Silas Ardoin followed suit with an RBI triple, but the Baysox failed to capitalise on the opportunities, leaving runners stranded on base.
Altoona's starter Wilber Dotel allowed two runs in the first inning, but the Baysox were unable to maintain the momentum. Sammy Siani drove in two runs for Altoona in the third inning with a double, and Duce Gourson hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. Wilkin Ramos sealed the victory for Altoona with a scoreless ninth inning, earning the save.
Ryan Long, a relief pitcher for the Baysox, threw five innings and allowed one earned run. Despite the loss, Long's performance demonstrated resilience and determination.
Creed Willems has been a consistent offensive force for the Baysox this season. On July 6, 2025, he went 2-for-3 with a double, marking his fourth multi-hit game of the season. Earlier in June, he contributed an RBI by grounding out, helping the Baysox score during a close game against the Harrisburg Senators.
The Baysox will regroup and prepare for their next challenge, a three-game series against the Richmond Flying Squirrels, starting on Friday, July 4. The first pitch for game one against Richmond is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.
