Paints Prevail, 7-5, Over Tacoma
Matt Jones impressed in the 7-5 Aurora win over Tacoma. Jones went 3 for 4 with 3 doubles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Thunder Wolves fall to 7-10 and continue their lackluster start to the 2026 season.

Jones broke a deadlock in the bottom of the sixth inning, when he hit a sacrifice fly, putting Aurora up, 5-4.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Jones said.
