CRESTWOOD, IL – For the second straight day, the ThunderBolts fell behind 2-0 early.

The Boomers had two other chances to score in the middle innings, but Colon was thrown out at the plate in both the third and fifth. They got their last run in the sixth when Nelson walked and Solberg singled him in. The ThunderBolts mounted a slight two-out rally with back-to-back hits in the bottom of the sixth. Andrew Brauer doubled and Jon Mestas singled him home. The Bolts, though, could not muster anything off of the Boomers bullpen, getting just one baserunner in the final three innings.
