(New Britain, CT) - Oswaldo Arcia's walk-off two-run single capped a four-run ninth inning as the New Britain Rock Cats rallied from a late 4-0 deficit to defeat the Trenton Thunder, 5-4, Thursday afternoon at New Britain Stadium.

Ryan Flannery (2-2) walked three and hit one batter in the final inning, including back-to-back walks with the bases loaded making a 4-1 Trenton lead just 4-3. That set the stage for Arcia's bases-loaded hit that scored the tying and winning runs.
