Thunder Bay Beats State College, 9-6
The Thunder Bay Black Bears knocked off the State College Swallowtails, 9-6, at Stars Field. Kader Kefentse was a big reason Thunder Bay won. The designated hitter was 4-5 with a double and 3 singles. Jonathan Fairbanks, who went 5 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 2 runs on 5 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 2-3. Bobby Boeckner locked down his 7th save.

A key moment came with two out in the top of the third. That's when Kefentse hit a cutter from Robby Welsh for a run-scoring single, putting Thunder Bay up, 2-1.

"A great team win and something real positive we can build on," said Kefentse after the game.

The win for the Black Bears lifted their record to 52-41.
