They added another run the following inning when Alex Tomasovich walked and later scored on a Yazy Arbelo groundout. Traverse City’s sixth inning distanced them as they got RBI singles from Jake Rhodes, Tomasovich and Jose Vargas to go up 7-1. The ThunderBolts loaded the base but were unable to score in the eighth before they finally broke through again in the ninth. Jacob Tanis and Stoner singled and Ransom LaLonde walked to load the bases before Ryan Tufts brought home two runs on a single. With one out, Mike Torres doubled home two more runs to bring the Bolts within two. But Traverse City closer Andrew Brockett was able to record the final two outs, securing the victory and his second save. In the game, the ThunderBolts stranded eight runners, including five in scoring position.
