 CRESTWOOD, IL – Miguel Ausua threw a complete game and the ThunderBolts finished with two innings of five runs or more on their way to a 12-3 win over the Gateway Grizzlies at Ozinga Field Wednesday night. The ThunderBolts (42-51) got their offense rolling immediately with Payton Robertson hitting a leadoff triple in the bottom of the first. He scored on a Jace Mercer groundout. The game was broken open in the third, when they batted around and scored six runs without a hit. The inning featured two walks, a hit batter and three Gateway errors. Jack Strunc and Donivan Williams each picked up an RBI as the lead extended to 7-0. With the seven runs of support, Ausua cruised through the early innings. He did not allow a hit until the fourth. That’s when Gateway (37-54) first got on the scoreboard. Jose Rosario singled in Jack Harris to make it 7-1. The Bolts hit their way to their second big inning. In the fifth, they loaded the bases on three straight singles and Rob Calabrese cleared them with a three-run double. Rob Weissheier followed with a two-run homer that put the game out of reach.
