Thunder Post 9-1 Win Over New York City
The Tampa Bay Thunder defeated the New York City Blues by the score of 9-1, with the biggest share of the credit going to pitcher Bobby Walker. Walker threw 8.2 innings of 5-hit ball for the Thunder on the day. The Thunder have an impressive 44-27 record.

The Blues had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Thunder going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 27-year old first baseman Tom Calhoun came to the plate. Calhoun hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch sinker from New York City hurler Dustin Clark. It was Calhoun's 8th double of the year.

"I wish every win came this easy," said Calhoun.
