Baltimore (Rk+) Beats Burlington, Goes to 20-11
The Baltimore (Rk+) Orioles topped the Burlington Royals, 5-1, in Appalachian League action at Burlington Athletic Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Baltimore (Rk+) pitcher and Hebron, Connecticut, native Mike Smirnov. In 9 innings, Smirnov surrendered 11 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 4. He allowed 1 run. The Orioles are now 20-11, while the Royals fall to 11-21.

Baltimore (Rk+) used a well-timed hit by Justin Stroud to capture the win. The right fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Orioles ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I like the roll we're on," said Baltimore (Rk+) manager Landon Moon.
