TRAVERSE CITY, MI – The ThunderBolts broke a 2-2 tie with a seven-run fourth inning on their way to an 11-2 victory over the Traverse City Beach Bums at Wuerfel Park Sunday night.

The tie did not last long as the Bolts reclaimed the lead and ran away in the top of the fourth. They sent 11 men to the plate and took a 9-2 lead with seven runs scoring. Austin Gallagher came up with the bases loaded and one out and brought home the first two runs of the inning on a single.

Cody Keefer doubled home Mike Torres in the fifth inning to give the ThunderBolts a 10-2 lead and LaLonde finished the scoring later that inning with a run-scoring single.
