(Trenton, NJ) - Your Trenton Thunder, presented by NJM Insurance Group, want to thank the best fans in baseball and all of our business and community partners for their continued support after the first homestand of the 2022 season.

“This is what it’s all about: making smiles and delivering happiness,” said President/GM Jeff Hurley. "Our first week with the best fans in baseball was spectacular, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for the rest of the 2022 Trenton Thunder season.
