Posted Jun 6/14 - Ketter, Miller lead Thunder to victory!

It was one of those grind it out games for the Thunder but they did just enough, beating BOSS Blue 3-2.  With the win, the Thunder boys are riding a 6 game winning streak and are currently 9-2, 7-1 in league play.  The Thunder bats were quiet most of the night but the pitching of Joey Pettit and Gavin Hinckley was outstanding and the defense behind them was fantastic, committing zero errors, giving the Thunder a chance.  The key moment of the game occured in the bottom of the 5th with the Thunder trailing 2 to 1.  Noah Doedens reached on an error, and swiped second base.  After an out was recorded, Kevin Lemens took advantage of another break, advancing to first on a passed ball on strike three.  Doedens went to third and the Thunder had a chance.  Ketter, who singled sharply in his last at bat, executed a perfect suicide squeeze to score Doedens and tie the game at 2.  With Lemens at third, Jack Miller provided the huge lift the Thunder would need.  With two strikes, Miller sharply singled to center, scoring Lemens and the Thunder led 3-2.  Great pitching and defense held that lead and the Thunder walked away victorious.  The Thunder look to keep things rolling with a game Tuesday vs. Germantown Jaguars and then the big Fathers Day Tournament this weekend at the West Bend Little League Diamonds!
