Thunder Wolves Win, Owens goes 4-for-4
The timely hitting of Dustin Owens helped the Tacoma Thunder Wolves down the Waco Warlocks, 6-4. Owens went 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Thunder Wolves. The winner was Arturo Martinez, who threw 81 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits. Shane Campbell recorded the save, his 1st.

With Tacoma leading 4-2 in the bottom of the fourth, Owens batted against Waco pitcher Alex Gonzales. Owens hit a fastball to left for a 2-run home run. His 8th home run of the season put the Thunder Wolves on top, 6-2.

"From the last whatever, five, six, seven games, there's really only one way to go and that's up," said losing manager Mike Schwartz.

The Warlocks have now dropped 6 straight.
