BOWIE -- Frustration was the order of the game for the Bowie Baysox yesterday.They left the bases loaded three times, the last in the ninth inning, and left 11 stranded overall to fall to the Reading Phillies, 4-2, in Eastern League play at Prince George's Stadium.A boisterous crowd of 5,783 -- mostly children from day camps -- had thinned considerably after a 43-minute rain delay interceded with the bases full and one out in the bottom of the ninth.When play resumed, left-hander Robert Dodd entered to face Chris Kirgan, who popped out. Then, Keith Troutman finished off Bowie (39-37)

Augie Ojeda singled home the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning for a 2-1 victory, as the host Bowie Baysox completed a doubleheader sweep over the Akron Aeros yesterday in the Double-A Eastern League.The Baysox won the first game, 9-7, when Bryan Bogle went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and Howie Clark added three hits and one RBI.Bowie reliever Chris Bennett (2-1) gave up two hits over 3 2/3 scoreless innings for the second-game victory, and Matt Snyder struck out two in the seventh for his 12th save.

Brian Bogle of Old Mill and Southern's Caroline Duffy have been named the winners of the Award for high school basketball.Named after the late Andover and North County basketball coach who died of cancer several years ago, the award includes a $1,500 scholarship to one boy and one girl basketball player from a county public high school.County coaches had the opportunity to nominate a player from their teams who is an outstanding student and represents the qualities Hart stood for. Hart's dedication, determination and discipline set the standard at Andover High for 30 years.

After watching Old Mill's Joe Barnes and Brian Bogle hit, run and field impressively yesterday in a driving, bitterly cold wind that stirred up snow flurries at Broadneck, one has to wonder what these two talented players will do once real baseball weather gets here.Barnes and Bogle were in the middle of almost everything for a very good Old Mill team that turned back the defending state class 3A champion Broadneck Bruins, 6-2, in the season-opener for both teams.Barnes drove in one run with a ringing double to deep left-center in the fifth inning, manufactured another run in the fourth with his speed and made all three of his putouts in center field look easy.

Playing without spectators is not what county boys basketball champion Broadneck (16-6) had in mind for its 3A East quarterfinal at Edmondson on Tuesday.No spectators will be allowed.An incident involving gunfire during the Dunbar-at-Edmondson game Wednesday in which no one was injured or arrested has led to the precaution.Broadneck parents and fans are not happy about it, to say the least."The whole thing is unfortunate," said Broadneck assistant athletic director Tim McMullen, who said he had many calls from concerned parents Friday.

Desmond Dailey carried Glen Burnie in the first half and Damon Flamer heated up in the second half, as the Gophers won the Anne Arundel County North Division title with a 83-60 victory over Chesapeake last night.No. 18 Glen Burnie (17-5, 12-4) will play No. 13 Broadneck (15-6, 13-3), the South winner, at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Old Mill in the first county championship game.Dailey (eight rebounds, two steals) scored 20 of his game-high 27 points in the first half while Flamer (five steals) tossed in 11 of his 18 points in the third period after being yelled at by coach Terry Bogle.

His love is basketball and baseball is in his blood.Choosing between the two sports is impossible for Glen Burnie High's gifted senior athlete Desmond Dailey.When he's raining threes on an opponent and scoring as many as 47 points in a game, basketball comes first for the 6-foot-2 Dailey.When he's batting .380 and playing left field for the Gophers, baseball is his passion."My dad tells me to play the sports I love and he'll support me whichever sport I choose down the road," said Dailey.

It may not be the question of the ages, but two fund executives are attempting to end the long-standing debate about which is better, stock index funds or actively managed stock funds.Robert Markman, president of Markman Capital Management, contends that investors can beat the market indexes by putting their faith and money in mutual funds.His three new investments are "funds of funds," which buy funds that Mr. Markman says will outperform their peers. Since February his Markman Multifund Trust, with three portfolios of funds, has attracted $45 million.
