Bolts slug Crushers

BOX SCORE

 

AVON, OH- A hot start by the blazing bats of the Windy City ThunderBolts avoided a sweep against the Lake Erie Crushers 5-2 Sunday afternoon at Crushers Stadium. 

 

The ThunderBolts (32-41) began the ballgame with a double by Reed Chumley. Following a single by Kingston Liniak with two outs, Brennan Dorighi struck out swinging on a wild pitch. The wild pitch scored one, and the throw by Crushers catcher Alex Rodriguez landed in the outfield, scoring Liniak and giving the Bolts a 2-0 lead. The next batter to the plate, Christian Kuzemka, smacked an RBI single, making it 3-0. After a Henry Kusiak double, outfielder Cam Phelts lined a two-run single to left accumulating a 5-0 ThunderBolts lead.

 

Lake Erie got a run back in the bottom of the first when Crushers’ first baseman Scout Knotts grounded into a fielders choice for an RBI. 

 

The Crushers (40-31) made it a 5-2 score in the bottom of the third when Jake Guenther hit an RBI single. 

In the bottom of the fourth with the bases loaded and two outs, Windy City starter Michael Barker  got Logan Thomason to pop out, ending the threat.

 

Barker (3-5) tossed five innings, allowing four hits and two runs (one earned) while walking three and striking out nine.

 

Bryce Hellgeth and Jack Mahoney each threw 1.1 innings of scoreless ball. Tyler Laporte locked up his tenth save of the season in the ninth, striking out two.

 

The Bolts are back on the diamond Tuesday night in Schaumburg at 6:30 CDT for the start of a three-game set against the Boomers at Wintrust Field. Will Armbruester (3-6, 4.55) gets the game-one start for the Bolts. The broadcast can be found at wcthunderbolts.com.
