CRESTWOOD, IL – Brady Muller pitched eight shutout innings as the ThunderBolts took game one of a three game series from the Gateway Grizzlies 5-0 at Standard Bank Stadium Friday night. Muller and Gateway starter Dylan Craig matched each other zero for zero in the first three innings but the ThunderBolts (8-5) broke through in the fourth. Blair Beck walked and Ransom LaLonde hit a two-run homer, his first of the year, to put the Bolts ahead 2-0. In the sixth inning, they added to the lead as Larry Balkwill hit a leadoff double and Andrew Dundon walked. After a Will Krug fielder’s choice, Keenyn Walker stepped up with an RBI single. Walker and Krug both scored on Coco Johnson’s base hit, giving the ThunderBolts a 5-0 lead. Muller, meanwhile, was cruising, facing just one over the minimum through the first six innings. He gave up a walk and a single in both the seventh and eighth but pitched out of both jams. Only one hitter made it as far as third base in the game for Gateway (3-10) and none after the second inning.
