A fast start was quickly erased as the Modoc got the best of the Thunderbirds Thursday night at Oran Good 9-4 on Crazy Uniform night.

The Tbirds jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the top of the 1st. After walks by Cliff Brade and Brent Smerczynski and two quick outs, Don Massoud hit a 2 run single and Marc Boggio followed suit with a run scoring line drive up the middle.

The lead wouldn’t last long as Modoc scored 4 in the bottom half and 3 more in the 2nd. The birds didn’t help themselves committing 3 errors on the night leading to 4 unearned runs. Ron Short started on the mound for the Thunderbirds going 2 innings while give up 4 earned and picking up 3Ks. Smerczynski logged the last 3 innings giving up 1 earned and striking out one.

Boggio and Rob Carroll each had 2 hits on the night with Massoud, Dustin Harrison and Ryan Karonka chipping in with hits as well.

The 10-3-1 Thunderbirds wrap up the regular season next week at Oran Good Park for a 6:30pm contest against the Roughriders.
