Bowie Baysox 8, Trenton Thunder 1: My son and I were in Trenton, New Jersey this afternoon to see the baseball game between the Trenton Thunder — the AA Eastern League affiliate of the New York Yankees — and the Bowie Baysox — the AA Eastern League affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

Thunder pitching phenom Alan Horne started the game but had a poor outing, surrendering six runs in five innings. He was charged with the loss, giving him a 10-4 record on the year.

The lone run that the Thunder scored came on a sacrafice fly that resulted in a violent collision at home plate between Baysox catcher Eli Whiteside and Thunder right fielder Bronson Sardinha, whose middle name happens to be Kiheimahanaomauiakeo. The ball reached home plate almost simultaneously with Sardinha, and the violent collision rendered Baysox catcher Whiteside unconscious on the ground by home plate as the ball trickled away. Medical assistance was called to the field, and eventually Whiteside was able to move his arms as he was strapped onto a backboard and carted off the field on a stretcher for an ambulance ride to the hospital.

You can access the box score at this link, while a wrap is available here.

Update: Monday’s newspaper coverage from both The Trenton Times and The Courier Times of Bucks County, Pennsylvania indicates that the injured Baysox catcher is well on his way to making a complete recovery.
