Ornelas Homers Twice in 9-3 Thunder Win
The St. Petersburg Thunder pinned a convincing loss on the Billings Polar Bears, 9-3, at Baby Thunder Dome. Mario Ornelas was a main factor in the win. He went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs, a double, and a walk. He scored 4 times and drove in 2 for St. Petersburg. Arturo Martínez collected save number 4. The win puts the Thunder at 34-36, while the Polar Bears drop to 35-35.

Allen Hale had a big 2-run double for the Thunder in the bottom of the fifth inning. With St. Petersburg trailing 3-2 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a slider from 19-year old right-handed pitcher John Joseph and swatted a double to right. It was his 9th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Thunder ahead, 4-3.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Hale said after the game.
