The Boom were able to snap their losing streak Thursday in Leesburg. The bats were quiet in the first half of this game, as the Boom were led by a great pitching performance from Jefferson Casillas (Montgomery). He went five and one third innings, only allowing one run, giving the Boom a chance to go ahead early. After scoring one in the first, the Boom put up four more off a grand slam from Justice Candelario (Santa Fe) in the fifth, making the score 5-1. After putting up one more run in the 7th off a bases loaded walk, the Boom went into the bottom of the ninth with a 6-1 lead. The Thunder battled back, scoring one on a wild pitch, followed by a two run single from George Duran (Shawnee State). Sam Gordon (Faulkner) was brought in with the bases loaded and two outs and after giving up a walk, was able to strikeout the final batter and finally end the game and the Boom’s eight game losing streak.
