Brant Hurter and Dylan Smith pitch well in Erie and West Michigan victories

They’ll play two at 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday to make up Friday’s rain out.

Erie SeaWolves 5, Bowie Baysox 3 (box)

Brant Hurter was excellent in this one and the offense came through with some key hits to take down Bowie on Friday.

The big lefty tossed five shutout innings with six strikeouts to just one walk. He was gifted an early lead in the bottom of the first when Justice Bigbie singled and stole second before riding home on Chris Meyers 8th home run of the year for Erie.

Hurter was good, but Baysox pitching solidified after the early homer, and the SeaWolves offense didn’t do much more until the seventh.
