Will Rhymes scored on a triple and an error in the top of the ninth to tie things up with Indianapolis but unfortunately, Jay Sborz gave up a ninth inning run and the Hens lost 5-4.  For Rhymes, it was his fourth hit of the day and that matched the rest of the team combined.  Casper Wells doubled, drew a walk and scored a run.

Ryan Ketchner gave up four runs (two earned) on eight hits with six strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings in his start.  Dan Schlereth pitched a shutout eighth inning and most importantly, he didn’t allow a walk.  Sborz took the loss and he fell to 1-2.

The SeaWolves finally picked up their first win of the season and they did it in dramatic fashion.  After the pen gave up two runs in the top of the ninth to give up the lead, Max St. Pierre then belted a two run walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth to win it.  It was nice because a solid start by Thad Weber almost went to waste.  He gave up a run on one hit and three walks with three strikeouts in six innings.  Ryan Ketchner picked up the win despite giving up four runs in three innings of relief.

St. Pierre had a big day at the plate.  The walk off home run was his second home run of the game and he finished three for four with three runs and three RBIs.  Shawn Roof went two for three with a run.

It was another tough day at the plate at the SeaWolves hitters were held in check in a 4-1 loss to the Thunder.  Jeff Kunkel tripled and scored the lone run while Shawn Roof singled Kunkel home.

Duane Below fell to 0-1 in the loss.  He gave up three runs on four hits with seven strikeouts in four innings.  Ryan Ketchner gave up a run on four hits in three innings of relief.
