BOWIE, Md. (Aug. 9, 2026) — The Senators needed only one run to beat the Baysox Sunday as three Harrisburg pitchers combined for the 1-0 shutout win. It is the Sens' ninth shutout win this season and third 1-0 win.
Chesapeake held Harrisburg to only two hits, but Elijah Green's first Double-A homer to lead off the sixth powered the win.
RHP Jack Cebert tossed four strong innings in his Senators debut. He retired the first seven hitters he faced before issuing a one-out walk in the third.
In all, Cebert allowed only one hit and two walks in his four frames. He struck out six.
RHP Robert Cranz (W, 3-0) followed with a one-two-three fifth, striking out two.
Meanwhile, the Baysox' RHP Trace Bright (L, 0-2) cruised through the first five innings of his return to Double-A. Bright rolled through the Sens to start, retiring the first 15 hitters of the game.
Then Elijah Green drilled a fastball over the plate the opposite way for a home run to right field, putting Harrisburg on top 1-0. The homer traveled an estimated 409 feet.
The Sens managed only one other baserunner in the win. Sam Brown doubled with one out in the eighth inning.
No matter as RHP Isaac Lyon (S, 1) closed the game with four scoreless innings. He joins other Senators starters RHP Josh Randall and LHP Alex Clemmey to earn a save of over three innings this season.
Lyon stranded men on second and third in the eighth to hold the shutout intact.
In the ninth, two Baysox bloop hits put men on first and third with one out. Chesapeake attempted a suicide squeeze to tie the game. Wehiwa Aloy broke down the third baseline as Griff O'Ferrall dropped down a bunt fielded by Lyon halfway between the plate and mound.
Lyon glove-flipped to Farmer, who tagged out Aloy at the plate for the second out.
The Baysox still had men on first and second, but Lyon struck out Adam Retzbach to end the game and close the 1-0 win.
Chesapeake won the series four games to three. Harrisburg scored three runs or fewer in each game of the series.
The Senators are back in action this week on City Island hosting the Richmond Flying Squirrels (San Francisco Giants) for a seven-game series. Game one is Tuesday, August 11, 6:30 p.m.
