Orioles minor league recap 5/8: Blake Money dazzles for Aberdeen
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 10, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 6 - F/10 The Tides benefitted from 13 hits, nine walks, and three Nashville errors to score 10 runs in this extra-inning win. Tyler O'Neill continued his rehab, batting second and playing right field. He went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout. Luis Vázquez led the offense with three hits, including a three-run home run. TT Bowens singled, tripled, and walked. Dylan Beavers singled, walked, stole a base, and scored once. Jud Fabian reached base three times. David Bañuelos smacked his first home run of the season off of old friend Bruce Zimmermann. Advertisement Cameron Weston turned in a nice start for the O's. Over five innings he allowed two runs on five hits, three walks, and four strikeouts. Kade Strowd struggled in relief, coughing up four runs on six hits in just two-thirds of an inning. But from there it was smooth sailing. Grant Wolfram worked a scoreless inning, and then Roansy Contreras dominated for three frames, striking out five in the process to earn the win. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 4, Portland Sea Dogs (Red Sox) 3 - Game 1 - F/8 Game 1 of the doubleheader saw the Baysox come back from a three-run deficit to get the extra-innings victory. Trace Bright was the starter for Chesapeake, but he lasted just three innings and allowed all three of the runs, two of which were earned. The bullpen took over from there. Houston Roth, Preston Johnson, and Keagan Gillies combined for five scoreless innings of relief. Johnson was the standout. He worked three hitless innings, walked four, and struck out five. Advertisement The Baysox offense produced their four runs off of six hits (all singles) and six walks. Frederick Bencosme reached base twice, but struggled on the bases. He was caught stealing once and picked off the other time. Creed Willems and Max Wagner both recorded a base hit and a run scored. Silas Ardoin walked four times and scored a run. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 2, Portland Sea Dogs (Red Sox) 1 - Game 2 The Baysox completed the doubleheader sweep with another comeback, this time bouncing back from just a one-run gap. Adam Retzbach went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored. His OPS on the season is up to a team-high .902. The team's only other hits were singles from Willems and Anthony Servideo. Tavian Josenberger walked and stole two bases. Advertisement It was a group effort on the pitching side. Four different hurlers appeared in this game. Juan Nuñez stuck around for the longest, tossing 2.2 innings in which he allowed one run, walked three, and struck out six. Edgar Portes, Yaqui Rivera, and Gerald Ogando then combined for 4.1 shutout frames to get a win in the nightcap. High-A: Aberdeen IronBirds 1, Jersey Shore BlueClaws (Phillies) 0 Aberdeen cashed in on a great performance from the pitching staff, led by starter Blake Money. The LSU product delivered 5.1 scoreless innings in which he struck out six and walked just one to earn the win. Levi Stoudt, on a rehab assignment, worked 1.2 perfect innings. And Wyatt Cheney nabbed his second save of the season with two scoreless innings out of the bullpen. There was less to be impressed by on the offensive side of things. They went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, struck out 14 times, and worked six walks. Their lone run scored on an Aneudis Mordán sac fly to bring in Jake Cunningham. Mordán, Cunningham, and Ethan Anderson had one hit apiece. Anderson's double was their only extra-base knock. Vance Honeycutt went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts. Low-A: Delmarva Shorebirds 6, Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Cubs) 3 The Shorebirds managed to score six runs without the help of an extra-base hit. All 11 of their hits were singles. They added to that five walks and two stolen bases. Their 4-for-11 line with runners in scoring position was helpful to make the most of their opportunities. Edwin Amparo led the lineup with three hits. Raylin Ramos singled twice, scored twice, and drove in two runs. Alfredo Velásquez also had two hits and scored twice. Advertisement Luis De León made his season debut as the starting pitcher. He lasted just 1.1 innings and allowed a run before handing the ball to Jake Cravey.

Viral Oyster Catchers logo on hold, awaiting MiLB approval
When they were first introduced, alternate logos for minor-league baseball teams were primarily just meant to be fun. The game changed in 2015, when the Fresno Grizzlies temporarily became the Fresno Tacos and sold a ridiculous amount of merchandise. Two years later, minor-league teams brought out Spanish-language alternate logos for 'Copa de Diversion.' By then, every MiLB team knew alternative identities were a critical revenue stream. In fact, it was so much of a business, a handful of designers from Brandiose, the firm that was making most of the alternative logos, branched off and started The Clink Room, a crowd-sourced business that allowed designers to make fake minor-league logos and sell them on New Era fitted hats. Last week, the Chesapeake Baysox debuted their 2025 alternate identity: the Oyster Catchers. One of the logos featured a picture of an oyster with a baseball as a pearl. Some saw an oyster. Others saw something unexpected. We see an opportunity to turn viral laughs into positive impact. In celebration of Women's History Month, 10% of all Oyster Catchers merch sales will support @IamCervivor. #GoBaysox #MerchForGood — Chesapeake Baysox (@BaysoxOfficial) March 22, 2025 When it hit social media last week, hysteria ensued. Did they not realize the logo looked exactly like a part of the female anatomy? 'It's hard to believe, but after reviewing the logo both internally and externally, none of us saw what the internet saw,' said Ellen Walsh, chief marketing officer for Attain Sports, which owns the team. 'Once you see it, you can't unsee it.' Walsh said the lesson learned will be to use bigger focus groups to try to catch these things. The logo was originally put on the back-burner, but believing fans would still like the gear, the team made an interesting shift. The Baysox want to go forward with the Oyster Catchers logo and donate 10 percent of the proceeds to Cervivor, an early-detection test for cervical cancer. Sources told cllct the decision is not solely Attain Sports' choice to make. The logo must be further vetted by the powers at Minor League Baseball. And that's what is happening now. In the meantime, the demand for the merch isn't subsiding. Unlicensed hats and T-shirts already have been posted on eBay. Darren Rovell is the founder of cllct and one of the country's leading reporters on the collectibles market. He previously worked for ESPN, CNBC and The Action Network.
