On a rare Wednesday game at Casper Park, the Macks (3-8, 1-8 Western Cloverbelt Conference) gave up four early runs to the Thunder (4-9, 4-2 WCC), but fought their way back to a tie after two.
After giving up four more runs in the top of the third, the Macks roared back for five in the bottom of the inning, taking their first lead of the game at 9-8.
Both teams were shut out in the 4th and 5th, but the Thunder broke through in the 6th inning with 5 runs, and added two more for insurance in the top of the 7th to pull away.
A number of McDonell batters got in on the high-scoring affair, including sophomore DH Mason Busse, who went 3-3 on the night, with a walk, a double, one RBI, and two runs scored.
