Trenton, NJ - The Trenton Thunder (20-10) scored four times with two outs in the eighth inning and held on to beat the Portland Sea Dogs (11-20) on Friday night at Arm & Hammer Park. Portland is now 0-6 against Trenton this season.
Portland took a 1-0 leading against winning pitcher Adonis Rosa (1-1) in the third inning. Brett Netzer struck out, but a wild pitch enabled Jhon Nunez to score from third base.
