Rockford Aviators News Release
Max White's two run single in the bottom of the eight inning was the difference in the contest as the Windy City Thunderbolts (6-13) rallied to defeat the Rockford Aviators (15-5) 4-3 in Frontier League baseball action Saturday night at Standard Bank Stadium in Crestwood, IL.
Rockford jumped to an initial 3-0 lead in the second and third innings on the strength of run scoring hits from Jaron Shepherd, Tanner Witt and Dusty Robinson.

Cameron Giannini (1-0) picked up the win with 1.2 innings of relief work, while James Jones recorded his second save by retiring the Aviators in order in the ninth.
