The Uniforms may have been ugly, but the offense was not as your Thunderbirds came out swinging early, often and didn’t let up as they flew past Modoc 18-5 Thursday night in the 2nd Annual Ugly Uniform game.

Ryan Karonka led the birds with a double, 2 singles and 2 rbis. John Menth and Rob Carroll each went deep on the night and each scoring 3 times with Carroll driving in 3 runs as well. Jeff Whanger also drove in 2 with a solid double to left. As for the rest of the Thunderbirds, each player either hit, scored or drove in at least one run on the night including Brent Smerczynski, Jacob Garcia, Dustin Harrison, Marc Boggio, Cliff Brade, Jody Nicewonger and Bodie Wilson.

Billy Coleman got the win for the Thunderbirds tossing the first three innings, giving up 5 runs and striking out 3. Wilson shut the door tossing 3 no-hit innings of relief while picking up 1 strikeout.

The win runs the Tbirds record to 9-2-2. They return to action next week against the Pelicans for an 8:45 contest at Randall Park.
