Thunder Claps
THE MATCHUP: Less than two months into the season, the Thunder welcome the Sea Dogs to town for the third and final time this
year. Trenton is 10-1 against Portland in 2019, going 8-1 at ARM & HAMMER Park and 2-0 at Hadlock Field.
A HARD DAY’S NIGHT: Tuesday’s 9-8 loss was Trenton’s longest game of the season (in terms of time) at three hours and 38
minutes, surpassing four extra-inning games the team has played this season (including the May 11 13-inning win over Portland,
which previously stood as the longest at 3:32).
WE THREE KINGS: The Thunder have the Eastern League’s three leading hitters: Ben Ruta (.343 AVG), Hoy Jun Park (.325), and
Chris Gittens (.322). Ruta and Gittens have spent the entire season in Trenton, while Park was added to the roster from extended
spring training on April 9 for the team’s fifth game of the year.
WAY TO GO, WAGS: After a slow start at the plate, Hopewell, New Jersey native Brandon Wagner is heating up, batting .333 (6-
for-18) over his last six games. The six-game stretch includes two multi-hit games (Wagner had just one multi-hit performance in his
first 36 games), and the 23-year-old recorded a hit in three straight games for the first time this season between Sunday and Tuesday.
Additionally, Wagner ranks third among Thunder hitters with 21 walks.
ROOTING FOR RUTA: West Windsor, New Jersey native Ben Ruta leads the league with a .343 average, 49 hits, and 11 stolen
bases, is tied for second with 4 triples, and is third with a .428 OBP. Ruta also owns the team’s longest on-base streak this season (13
games between April 17 and May 6) and leads the Thunder with 15 multi-hit games.
GITTEN’ AFTER IT: Chris Gittens also ranks among league leaders in numerous offensive categories. The Texas native leads the
Eastern League with a .457 OBP, a 1.069 OPS, and 29 walks, and ranks near the top with a .322 AVG (3rd), .612 SLG (3rd), 29 RBI (T-4th),
and 9 home runs (4th).
GO WEST, YOUNG MEN: After the current series and a four-game visit to Binghamton, the Thunder will play 10 of their next 13
games against Western Division opponents. Trenton is 13-7 against Eastern Division rivals, but just 12-10 against the Western
Division.
WHO THEY ARE: Of the 25 players on the Thunder roster, 12 were drafted by the Yankees, nine were signed as minor league or
international free agents, three were acquired via trade, and one was claimed off waivers. Seventeen of the 25 played under Patrick
Osborn at High-A Tampa at some point in 2018.

Last Game: Adonis Rosa turned in a brilliant relief outing, spanning 5.1 IP, and
the Thunder earned a series victory with a 3-2 win over Portland.
Rosa, who was piggy-backing Trevor Stephan, allowed just three
hits and two walks over his outing and struck out four.
The Thunder got an RBI 3B from Rashad Crawford in the 4th inning
to take a 2-1 lead and added an insurance run on a sacrifice fly from
Matt Lipka in the 8th to earn the win.
Brandon Wagner worked two walks and Kellin Deglan turned in
his first multi-hit game with the Thunder, going 2-for-4 with a run
scored.
