Rays Nipped by Orioles, 2-1
The Baltimore (GCL) Orioles used a great performance from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Borchers to beat the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays, 2-1, at Ed Smith Stadium. The winner was Borchers. He threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Jesus Cisneros. Max McCastle recorded his 1st save for Baltimore (GCL).

With scoring opportunities rare, the Orioles had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the first, when right fielder Jim Rice hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Jesus Cisneros and made the score 2-0, Orioles. Rice was 2 for 3 with a double.

"The fact of the matter is that we had a shot to win," said losing manager Chris Schoch.

Baltimore (GCL) now sports a record of 19-11.
