Thunder Rally, Sweep Series from Senators

A five-run sixth inning helped the Thunder overcome a three-run deficit en route to a 7-5 win over the Harrisburg Senators on Sunday night in front of a crowd of 5,419 at ARM & HAMMER Park.
The win completed a three-game sweep of the Senators and extended the Thunder winning streak to five games, matching the team's longest of the season.
With the Senators (21-27, 63-55) leading 5-2, Brandon Wagner drew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the sixth and advanced to third on a Hoy Jun Park double, which chased Harrisburg starter Kevin McGowan from the game. Chris Gittens then delivered a sacrifice fly to right field off reliever Brian Bonnell (2-4), and after a Kellin Deglan RBI-single brought the Thunder (26-26, 64-54) within one run, Isiah Gilliam gave the Thunder a 6-5 lead with a towering two-run homer to right-center. Consecutive doubles by Matt Lipka and Angel Aguilar then capped the five-run rally.
Prior to the Thunder romp, McGowan had struck out a career-high 10 batters and allowed just three Thunder baserunners through his first five innings.
Meanwhile, Thunder starter Nick Green lasted just four innings after being tagged for three runs in the first inning and surrendering a two-run homer to David Masters in the fourth. But James Reeves (6-2) kept the game close by retiring nine of 10 batters faced in three innings of relief, and Brooks Kriske and Daniel Alvarez tossed one scoreless inning each to preserve the victory.
The series sweep was the first for the Thunder since May 6-8, when the team swept a three-game series in Richmond.
