Trenton played two and came away with just one win as they remained in first place in their division.  They couldn’t get the offense going in a 4-1 loss in the opener.  Noah Hall hit a solo homerun for the only Thunder run of the game.  Brett Smith gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts in five innings and the loss dropped him to 4-2 on the season.

In game two, the Thunder won 3-0 and Michael Gardner threw four shutout innings.  Kevin Whelan improved to 3-0 on the season with two shutout innings of relief.  He struck out four and he’s now struck out 34 hitters in 25 innings all without giving up a homerun.  Carlos Mendoza doubled, drew a walk and scored two runs in the win.
