Summary :


The Thresher’s didn’t have a hit till the seventh inning when TJayy Walton singled.  They loaded the bases in the ninth which included a gutsy 11 pitch walk by Brady Day but could not score.

At Bat : 0 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 10 K’s


Notes :


TJayy Walton left the game in the bottom of the ninth - he appeared to hurt his hand on a swing in the top of the ninth and was also hit by a pitch on the same hand.  Hopefully nothing serious as he’s spent a good deal of time on the IL already.

Guillermo Rosario’s fifth inning homer was his first as a Thresher.
