Game 2 of series was Wed. Night. Bowie lost 8-5. Bowie started 20 year old Gunnar Henderson at SS. He was called up to AA a week ago. He had a HR and a BB in 4 plate appearances. Game 3 is tomorrow. Bowie needs to win the next three or Akron will win the Division.

Bowie needs to win the next three or Akron will win the Division. Grenier had a bunt single and came around to score an unearned run to put Bowie up 2-0. Bowie went up 5-0 in the seventh and held that lead to the eighth. In the eighth, Grenier tried to get the runner at second rather than make the easy throw to first and missed the throw to Henderson, allowing three unearned runs to score to turn a 5-1 game into a 5-4 game. Akron scored two in the bottom of the ninth to win 6-5.

Game 2 of series was Wed. Night. Bowie lost 8-5. Bowie started 20 year old Gunnar Henderson at SS. He was called up to AA a week ago. He had a HR and a BB in 4 plate appearances. Grenier, as is apparent to Beav fans who revere his contributions to OSU (as do I), is not in the upper echelon of Oriole prospects. At SS, 2019 Round 2 HS draftee Gunnar Henderson (SS) is however, in the upper echelon. Baseball America - Henderson is ranked Oriole Prospect #4 - (we know well who is #1). "he has all the makings of a modern-day, bat-first shortstop and took strides toward that in 2021 as he embraced the challenges of playing above his level for most of the year. ... Henderson has a quiet setup but quick hands that allow him to get his barrel into the zone quickly and keep it there, and as he continues to connect his upper and lower body in his load, he’ll tap into more pull power. ....The Future: The Orioles haven’t drafted and developed an all-star shortstop since Manny Machado, but Henderson has the talent to be the next one. He’ll be back at Double-A Bowie to start 2022, with an MLB role in 2023 in play." Since Cadyn was the starting SS at Bowie for most of 2021, though he finished the season with 5 games at Norfolk AAA (1 for 13 at the pate), it's hard to see what his role might be in 2022.

In other news..........
After Bowie was eliminated, Cadyn Grenier was promoted to AAA Norfolk to play in the final five games against Durham in what was termed the AAA Final Stretch for the AAA Championship.
Rutschman played catcher and first and hit second, and Grenier played DH and SS and hit in the lower third of the order. Durham won four of the five games to wrap up the AAA Championship.
