After sweeping the Binghamton Mets to get to the Eastern League Championship Series, the Thunder kept rolling with a win over the Harrisburg Senators in a best of five series to decide the EL winner. Mason Williams, who has struggled since being promoted to Double-A, came up with a big two-run hit after the Thunder fell behind early. Trenton's best pitchers were lined up for this series and Turley did not disappoint with ten strikeouts. The teams will play again this evening for the final game in Trenton.
