The Thunder took care of the Fisher Cats but they need some great pitching and eleven innings to do it.  Wilkin De La Rosa threw four shutout innings in his start and then Grant Duff struck out four in two shutout innings to close out the game and he improved to 1-0 on the season.

Austin Krum was the hitting star in the 2-1 win.  He went three for five and he scored both Thunder runs.

The Thunder didn’t bring much to the plate as they were held to just five hits in a 3-1 loss to New Britain.  Jorge Vazquez singled twice and Reegie Corona singled, drew a walk and drove in the lone Thunder run.

Zach McAllister had a decent start go to waste.  He fell to 5-4 and he gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts in six innings.

Jason Johnson had a really tough time and he fell to 0-2 on the season with a rough start in the Thunder’s 9-6 loss to Erie.  He gave up eight runs on eleven hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings.

Jorge Vazquez had a big day at the plate.  He went four for five with a home run, a double, three RBIs and two runs.  Jesus Montero went two for four with a solo home run.
