ThunderBolts lose finale at Lake Erie

Crushers 6 Bolts 1

AVON, OH – The ThunderBolts wrapped up a 1-5 road trip Sunday afternoon as they fell to the Lake Erie Crushers 6-1 at All Pro Freight Stadium.

Lake Erie scored their first run in the second inning when Jose Barraza led off with a walk. He moved to second on a balk and to third on a flyout before scoring on Chandler Brock’s single.

The ThunderBolts responded immediately with a run in the top of the third. Larry Balkwill walked and moved up on a Mike Torres double. Balkwill scored on a Jonathan Garcia single.

The tie didn’t last as Lake Erie took the lead for good in the bottom of the third inning. Emmanuel Quiles singled, went to second on a balk and scores on Austin Prott’s base hit. The Crushers added an insurance run in the fifth. With two outs, they loaded the bases on a hit batter, a single and a walk. Barraza’s single scored Prott to make it 3-1.

Lake Erie put the game away with three runs in the seventh. Prott picked up his second RBI single of the game and Anderson Hidalgo drove in a run on a groundout before Barraza tripled home the sixth run of the game, the only extra-base hit of 13 total for the Crushers.

Adkins improved to 2-3 with the win for Lake Erie while Austin Wright (2-7) took the loss, allowing three runs in five innings.
