The Chesapeake Baysox<\/a>, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, earned their first walkoff win this season Thursday against the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, in a 2-1 win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On each of his two hits,\u00a0Aron Estrada\u00a0had the two RBI for the Baysox<\/a> (3-3), including on his game-winning one-run single that scored\u00a0Brandon Butterworth\u00a0in the bottom of the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

Chesapeake fell behind in the second inning despite a great Double-A debut for Baysox<\/a> right-hander\u00a0Evan Yates. An RBI groundout by Erie\u2019s Seth Stephenson gave the SeaWolves a 1-0 lead. Yates gave up the lone Erie run while conceding three hits, two walks and five strikeouts across four and a third innings pitched.<\/p>\n

Chesapeake earned a 1-1 tie three innings later. A couple of singles by\u00a0Frederick Benscome\u00a0and\u00a0Fernando Peguero\u00a0preceded a Butterworth\u00a0walk that loaded the bases for Chesapeake in the fifth. Estrada then\u00a0lugged out a game-tying one-run single to score Benscome, his first of a few big RBI hits.<\/p>\n

Still tied at one in the top of the ninth, Erie had a great opportunity to take a late lead but Chesapeake right-handed reliever\u00a0Jeisson Cabrera\u00a0(W, 1-0) shut down the SeaWolves. After\u00a0Carlos Tavera\u00a0and\u00a0Zane Barnhartcombined to give up just two hits and zero runs across three relief innings, Cabrera owned the top of the ninth inning, working through a one-out runner at third base and forcing the SeaWolves to finish 0-10 with runners in scoring position.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cabrera\u2019s pitching set the stage for the aforementioned Aron Estrada walkoff single. After the Baysox\u2019s Buttersworth reached second with a hit-by-pitch and steal against Erie right-hander Wandisson Charles (L, 0-1), who was with Chesapeake in 2023 and 2024, Estrada sent the early education day crowd home happy with a single that scored Butterworth.<\/p>\n

Next up, the Baysox will look to earn at least a share of their six-game series with the SeaWolves. Chesapeake will host game four against Erie in its first Friday game at Prince George\u2019s Stadium this season, scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. ET. Left-hander Luis De Le\u00f3n (No. 2 prospect, Orioles) makes his second start for Chesapeake as right-hander Kenny Serwa counters for Erie.<\/p>\n
