Huston, Christopher Link, Chase DeCounter and Stephen Butterfield also had one hit each. Huston and Phillips each hit 3-run home runs. Daudelin and Link each had 2 RBI's as well.
In game two, the Thunder rode timely hitting and a good combined pitching performance from Matt Zaehringer and Thomas Todd to take a 7-5 win. Matt Swanson had the leading performance offensively, going 3-3 with a double and 3 RBI's. Bryant Fernetti added 2 hits for L-N. Also collecting hits were Michael Yeast, Josh Phillips, Stephen Butterfield and Brittian Daudelin. Collecting one RBI each were Yeast, Butterfield, Dustin Moore and Christopher Link.
