Riding another stellar pitching performance, El Trueno de Trenton notched a series victory with a 2-1 win over the Harrisburg Senators on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 7,247 at ARM & HAMMER Park.

Hoy Jun Park led off the bottom of the first inning with an infield single and after stealing second base, scored the game's first run on a Ben Ruta single to right field. Mandy Alvarez extended El Trueno lead to 2-0 on a solo home run to left-center in the fourth.

The Senators (34-21) scored their only run in the top of the fifth inning on an RBI-single by Adrian Sanchez. Starter Wil Crowe (5-4) took the loss despite holding El Trueno to two runs across seven innings.

Trueno right-hander Will Carter pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Whitlock, bridging the gap to Daniel Alvarez, who worked around a one-out single in the ninth to earn the save.
