Solid pitching and a relentless offensive led the Thunderbirds to an easy 24-0 victory Thursday night. The win moves to birds to 5-1 on the season.

Brent Smerczynski got the win on the mound improving to 3-1 on the season. The lefty went 4 shutout innings only giving up 2 singles while striking out 3 and only allowing 1 baserunner to reach second base. Sean House threw a scoreless fifth to close out the night picking up 2 Ks of his own.

On offense, the Thunderbirds scored lone runs in the 1st and 2nd, then opened it up in the 4th with 8 runs to make it 10-0, then put the final nail in the coffin in the 5th inning scoring 14 runs. Rob Carroll and Bodie Wilson led the charge with 3 hits each with Carroll hitting his first homerun of the season in the 5th. Cliff Brade, House and newcomer Matt Allen each added 2 hits apiece while Smerczynski, Marc Boggio, and Don Massoud had hits on the night as well.
