Thunder Wolves Earn 5-4 Win Versus Mighty Mites
In the 5-4 Tacoma win over St. Joseph, the impact of Matthew Northern was substantial. Northern was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The win belonged to Omar Garza in relief. His record improves to 4-1. Hedde Castillo took the loss for St. Joseph. The slumping Mighty Mites have lost 7 straight.

Hunter McConnon came through with a big-time hit for Tacoma. The pinch hitter smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"From the last whatever, five, six, seven games, there's really only one way to go and that's up," said losing manager Chris Houston.
