Brooks Brown was pummeled for nine runs on seven hits and four walks in just 2 2/3 innings in the SeaWolves 10-9 loss to Bowie.  What was probably most impressive about this game was even after being down 10-0, the Wolves made a play at things with an eight run fifth inning.  Still, their comeback fell short.  Brown fell to 4-4 and Cory Hamilton had a nice outing.  He gave up a run on five hits with three strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings of relief.

Game two was a 10-0 beatdown and what was even more impressive was they did it in just seven innings.  Clemente Mendoza improved to 4-2 and he went the distance.  He gave up six hits and two walks with three strikeouts in seven shutout innings.  Johnson once again had a big day at the plate and he went two for five with a double, a home run and four RBIs.
