The Aeros started their first home game of the 2010 season with a solo shot from OF Nick Weglarz, his third of the season. That was the last time the Aeros would cross the plate on Thursday night. The Baysox took control when they tied the game in the 3rd inning and never looked back.

Bowie was then held scoreless for two innings before erupting for four runs in the 6th inning off starter Connor Graham who pitched 5.1 innings, while giving up 5 ER, 4 BB and 3 K bringing his early season ERA to 10.61. Neil Wagner struggled to find his command early, lasting only 0.1 innings, while giving up four runs that were all earned.

Problems continued for the Aeros as the Baysox put up another four spot in the 8th inning, putting the contest well out of reach.

The Aeros received a warm welcome as they unveiled the 2009 championship pennant and as the players took the field in front of 5,006 fans at Canal Park on Thursday Night.

The Aeros continue their homestand Friday night against the Baysox. Come out, enjoy a great evening with the family, and check all the action at Canal Park.
