Thunder Score Late to Beat Kingfishers, 5-4
In the 5-4 Toronto win over Pittsburgh, the impact of John Matthews was substantial. Matthews, who finished 2nd in the PL in OPS with .920 in 2061, was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Ron Murphy closed it out for his 8th save. The Thunder are now 18-25, while the Kingfishers fall to 16-27.

Toronto used a timely hit from Tom Francis to get the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Thunder ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Matthews. "And not try to do too much."
