Thunder strikes up again

    The Jackson County Thunder baseball team has come back for another season and sporting some new duds. Due to weather the Thunder team wasn’t able to start their season until May 2 at Shelby Park against the LaGrange Demons. Although some Thunder teammates voiced their apprehension about playing the team, the Thunder still struck and won, 8-6.
    Some moves were made in the third inning of the game, both teams scored. In the fourth inning the Thunder made two more runs and added another in the fifth, making the score 4-1. Innings six and seven went quick without scores, and then Thunder really struck in the game until the end with numerous plays.
    Jordan Pachecho pitched the nine inning game and had 14 strikeouts, four walks and six runs, and Kade Kucera went three for four with a double a walk and two runs. Chris Whitehead was one for five and had a home run, while Brian Peters was one for four with a run batted in, and Aaron Garcia was one for three with a walk.
    The Thunder team is idle on Mother’s Day weekend and is set to play again on Sunday, May 17 in LaGrange against Ellinger.
