Saturday: The Thunderbirds took a 2-1 lead into the ninth inning, on a strong start by Sean Callegari, who allowed four hits in eight innings, struck out six. The Hustlin' Owls got two in the top of the ninth, but the Birds answered with an RBI single by RF Tyler Enns to tie it, then 3B Kevin Biro scored on an error on the same play to win it. The throw from the outfield on Enns' hit went toward second base behind Biro, who had taken a wide turn around the bag, except nobody was home at second to field the throw, and it rolled all the way past first base and into foul territory near the UBC dugout, allowing Biro to come all the way around to score the winning run. Biro was 2-for-4 with an RBI.
