Your Thunderbirds struggled to get their offense going on Thursday, getting easily dispatched by the Dallas Orioles, 10-2.

The Thunderbirds opened up scoring in the first inning. John Menth singled on a 1-1 count, scoring one run, followed by an RBI single by Dustin Harrison to make it 2-0, but that would be all they could muster on the night.

The Dallas Orioles got a run back in the 2nd and pulled away for good with four runs in the fourth inning. They later added 2 in the 6th and 3 in the 7th.

Bodie Wilson toed the rubber for the Thunderbirds. The pitcher went seven innings, allowing ten runs on 12 hits and striking out five.

The Thunderbirds tallied seven hits. Mark Tiereny, Menth, and Dustin Harrison each racked up multiple hits for the Thunderbirds with two apiece. Brent Smerczynski got the only other hit on the night.

The loss drops their record to 8-2-2. The birds will try to get back in the win column next week against Modoc at 6:30pm. This will also be the 2nd annual Ugly Uniform Night.
