(Trenton, NJ) – Your Trenton Thunder took all three games against the Aberdeen IronBirds at Trenton Thunder Ballpark, taking the finale 5-3 on Thursday night. Trenton took the first lead and would lead wire-to-wire for the first time in the series. After Aidan Paradine doubled in the bottom of the second and advanced to third on a wild throw from the outfield, Brett Patten brought him home on a ground out to second.
In the third, Carsten Sabathia continued his hot start lacing his second double of the season down the right field line to score Austin Lemon and Jake Koonin, making it a 3-0 Trenton lead. In the seventh, the IronBirds would push across their first two runs to make it a one run contest.
