(Erie, PA) - David Adams drove in three runs while Mikey O'Brien and three relievers held Erie to a single run as the Trenton Thunder earned 5-1 victory over the SeaWolves on Thursday night to win the three-game series.

Trenton finished the season series against Erie with wins in nine of the 12 contests including a 5-1 mark at Jerry Uht Park. Adams hit sacrifice flies in the third and fifth innings, then picked up an RBI groundout in the seventh to conclude the scoring.

Erie starter Jared Wesson (4-3) allowed all five Trenton runs in his six plus innings of work. Addison Maruszak ripped an RBI triple in the fourth to score Melky Mesa who had led off the inning with a double, making the score 2-0 Thunder. Jose Pirela added a sac fly in the seventh before Adams third RBI of the night.
The Thunder collected only five hits with no player getting more than one. Erie had nine hits, including a pair from Romero and Jordan Lennerton.
