Your Thunderbirds used a dominant performance on the mound and a steady offensive output en route to an 8-1 win over Modoc Thursday night to move their record to 6-0-2.

Jacob Garcia earned the win for the Thunderbirds in his first start of the season. Garcia tossed 5 strong innings on the mound only surrendering 1 earned run on 5 hits and collecting 10 strikeouts. Marc Boggio tossed a solid 6th to close out the night.

Boggio had a single and a double, Carroll had 2 singles, Corey Steininger had a single and a triple and Menth added a single and a long home run to dead center. The birds scored runs in all but one inning on the night. Other Thunderbirds batters picking up hits on the night include Cliff Brade, Brent Smerczynski, Jody Nicewonger and Garcia.
