Box Score

Trenton Thunder lost to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 3-1

For most of the game it seemed that a solo home run by Ben Gamel would be enough to secure a Trenton victory, but it wasn’t to be.

Zach Nuding gave the Thunder six shutout innings, but then the bullpen stepped in. In the eighth inning, Phil Wetherall allowed three New Hampshire runners to score which ended up being too much for Trenton to overcome.

One positive that came from this game is the continued hot streak of Thunder catcher Gary Sanchez, who went 3-4 to raise his batting average to .276. Over his last ten games, Sanchez is hitting .378.
