Thursday June 5

Torrington Thunder 4   New Haven Ravens 3

The Torrington Thunder squeaked past New Haven 4-3 on Thursday at Fuessenich Park, thanks to a mix of patience at the plate and base-stealing chaos. Chase Brown earned the win with five solid innings, while the Ravens Jordan Carreira battled through a tough first inning where the strike zone seemed more elusive than usual. Torrington’s bats didn’t exactly explode, but their legs sure did, swiping five bases like it was a clearance sale. Joselito Pagan and friends tried to rally for New Haven, but Angel Santana shut the door and pocketed the save. Next up, Torrington hosts Naugatuck Tuesday 6/10 at 7p.
