 CRESTWOOD, IL – The ThunderBolts dropped their eighth straight game, falling to the Sussex County Miners 5-3 in the series opener Tuesday night.

Sussex County (12-5) scored the next four runs over the course of the next six innings. They got the tying run in the third on a Gabriel Maciel double and brought home the leading run in the fifth on a single from Maciel.

Dakota Kotowski threw a runner out at the plate and Phelts saved another run, throwing out a runner at third on a fourth-inning flyout. The Miners tacked on single runs in the sixth and eighth before the Bolts made their move. In the bottom of the eighth, David Maberry walked and pinch runner Winder Diaz scored on a Phelts single.
