Trenton, NJ - The Trenton Thunder shutout the Hartford Yard Goats 1-0 on Tuesday night at Arm & Hammer Park in Trenton, New Jersey. The Yard Goats had 10 hits and left eight men on base as they were shutout for the third time in the past five games. Ryan McBroom's RBI single in the first inning scoring Devyn Bolasky was the only run of the game. Hartford had runners on base in all but two innings and had the bases loaded in the sixth inning as they fell to 2-3 on the road trip. Both teams combined for 19 hits but only one run.

Thunder starter Brian Keller fired 5.2 scoreless innings to earn his seventh win, which also pushed Hartford back to five games out of a playoff spot.
