Thunder Collect 12-11 Win Over Rock Cats
The performance of Steve Lowe proved critical in helping Trenton beat New Britain, 12-11, in 11 innings. The Thunder shortstop was 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 4 and driving in 2. Luis C. Gonzalez earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 2.2 innings. He upped his record to 6-2. Ed Raines converted his 6th save in 8 tries.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Lowe delivered big-time for Trenton, stroking a dramatic 2-run home run off Jon Baldwin. The game-changing hit put the Thunder on top, 12-10.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Lowe, "but we got it done."

After today's action, Trenton sits at 67-61; New Britain slips to 71-57.
