Tickets are $10 each and the raffle goes until Friday, January 29. The Baysox will announce a winner on Friday, February 5.

Brian Matusz pitched only one inning of his start on Saturday in New Britain before leaving with game. Because there was no apparent injury, the move indicates Matusz is a candidate to start for the Orioles on Tuesday in place of injured right-hander Brad Bergensen. Roch Kubatko is reporting he has “strong indications” that Matusz [...]

Northern  Division
Akron Aeros (Cleveland Indians)
Carlos Santana

Tom with the Baysox just posted a great interview with 2008 Baysox and all around nice guy Ryan Finan.

Jason Berken likes things fast. The Orioles right-hander prospect is used to quick at bats, double plays, and his Frederick Keys even won the Carolina League championship in his first full professional season. So, it took a while to understand that if he wanted to continue succeeding he had to slow down.
