Gage Workman scored Erie’s (26-20, 64-49) first run in the sixth on a passed ball from Ardoin to cut the lead in half.
Right-hander Kyle Virbitsky threw 1.1 shutout innings of relief with two strikeouts in his first outing back with the Baysox since May 22. The 25-year-old was transferred from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Wednesday.
In the ninth, left-hander Jakob Hernandez came into close things out but gave up a pair of one out walks to put the tying and go-ahead runs on second and first. Austin Murr lined a game-tying RBI single up the middle to even the score at two and force extra innings for a second consecutive night.
With no available Baysox arms left, catcher Connor Pavolony (L, 0-1) pitched the 10th and gave up a two out, two-run homer to Ben Malgeri to give the SeaWolves their first lead of the night 4-2.
Collin Burns pulled the Baysox within a run with an RBI double to left field off right-hander RJ Petit (W, 4-6). After Enrique Bradfield Jr. grounded out, Beavers walked with two outs to put the tying and winning runs on first and third but Petit struck out Basallo swinging to end the game.
