The Thunder offense returned to pound out 11 hits in a 5-3 win. Chuck April with 3 hits and Brian Whipple with 2 paced the attack. Mike Johnson rebounds from a tough outing with a great performance, scattering 5 hits over 6 innings, with the help of some strong defense: on a bad hop grounder off 1B Jim Wick, Dave Brown caught the rebound and threw to Mike Johnson covering to turn a hit into an out, and Chuck April caught a sinking line drive at 3B and doubled up the runner at first to kill a 4th-inning rally. Rick Armand also ran down a ball that Waltham's Gary Vallerand drove to very deep right-center (it had triple written all over it) to stop the Braves 2nd inning rally.
