They added a pair of runs in the second when Ozney Guillen singled and Jim Vahalik hit his first home run of the year. A McKenna single and Same Judah walk set the stage in the third for a two-run double off the bat of Dudley to make it 6-0. The ThunderBolts (14-18) got on the board in the third. Coco Johnson singled and stole second and third before Jonathan Garcia singled him home. They got another man to third base before the inning ended on a double play.
