BOX SCORE HIGHLIGHTSRob Segedin became the first Thunder player to record four hits in a game, in the Thunder’s 5-3 victory over the Reading Fightin’ Phils on Thursday night at ARM & HAMMER Park in front of 4,751 fans.
Segedin’s fifth home run of the season got the Thunder offense started in the first inning. His two-run shot off Reading starter Perci Garner gave the home team an early lead.
The Thunder’s designated hitter was in the middle of the offensive attack again in the fourth inning with an RBI single to score Ben Gamel. Gary Sanchez followed Segedin with an RBI double to take a 5-1 advantage for The Thunder. Sanchez finished 2-for-4 with a run batted in and a walk.
Reading rallied in the seventh inning for a pair of runs against Thunder starter Graham Stoneburner. Aaron Altherr, Brock Stassi and Tommy Joseph each doubled to bring the visitors within a 5-3 deficit before Stoneburner was removed from the game. Tyler Webb entered and retired each of the next three batters to protect the lead.
Stoneburner earned his second victory of the season throwing a season-high six innings. The right-hander allowed three runs on five hits and two walks, he struck out three.
