The Thunder won’t have to deal with Harrisburg’s Yurendell de Caster anymore. de Caster, who hit .250 with a double, solo home run and three walks during the first home series in Trenton, has been summoned to Triple-A by the Nationals. The former big leaguer has been replaced by Ofilio Castro.

Final Score: 5-4, Rock Cats

Post-Game Notes: The Thunder tied the game in the ninth, but lose in 12.  P.J. Pilittere went 4-for-6.  Marcos Vechionacci was pinch run for in the fourth, and may be injured.  Dan McCutchen turned in seven solid innings, but did allow two home runs.  Josh Schmidt, pitching for the first time in six days, picked up the loss.
