Sauget, IL – The Windy City ThunderBolts came up shy of a three-game sweep against the Gateway Grizzlies with a 5-3 loss on Thursday night at GCS Credit Union Ballpark.

The Grizzlies added two more in the second inning when Jose Rosario hit a lead-off homer and Trevor Achenbach recorded a sacrifice fly. The Bolts tallied for the first time in the third inning when Nikola Vasic drove home Brynn Martinez on a groundout. Gateway answered that run back in the bottom half on Cam Touchette’s RBI single. Trailing by three runs in the fifth, Daryl Myers cut the deficit to one with a two-run single. But once again Gateway responded with a run in the bottom half to extend their lead to 5-3. Bolts starter Bryan Ketchie (1-1) took the loss, throwing 5.2 innings and allowing five runs (three earned). Taylor Sugg (2-0) won it for Gateway, tossing two shutout innings in relief.
