Thunderbirds shut out O's
Your Thunderbirds used a steady barrage of offense and a dominant pitching performance to blank the Dallas Orioles 10-0 Thursday night in Coppell.
Brent Smerczynski earned the win for the birds in a complete game shutout effort. The lefty was almost unhittable on the night, only surrendering one hit while striking out 4. The no-hit bid was broken up with 4 outs remaining on a broken bat single to left.
The offensive charge was led by Jody Nicewonger, who collected 2 hits and 3 runs batted in. Nicewonger opened the scoring with a clutch two out 2-run single in the top of the second and the birds never looked back. The birds collected 13 hits on the night as a whole with Smerczynski, Ryan Karonka, Bodie Wilson, Nicewonger and Marc Boggio each picking up 2 hits. Other T-birds with hits on the night include Rob Carroll, Billy Mcdaniel and John Menth.
Thunderbirds return to action next Thursday for a showdown with Modoc at 6:30pm.
