Michael Allen’s solo home run in the second, his second in a week with the Bolts, made it 5-0.

Windy City blew the game open with four runs in the fourth. Robinson, McIntyre and Max White each had RBI hits in opening a 10-1 lead. Garrett Carey then tripled to leadoff the fifth and scored on a Robinson base hit for the 11th run. The Grizzlies plated one in the fourth inning and two in the sixth, with Michael Johnson picking up two RBI hits, but 11-4 would be as close as they would come. Two-run singles for Robinson and White in the seventh helped put the ThunderBolts ahead 16-4 and Davidson Peguero’s RBI groundout in the ninth put a cap on the scoring. McIntyre finished the game with four hits and four RBIs and Robinson had four hits and six RBIs. Travis Tingle (7-5) pitched five innings of two-run ball for the win and Aaron Newcomb (9-5) could not get out of the fourth, allowing eight runs in taking the loss.
