SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) -The Springfield Thunderbirds were back in action Thursday night in downtown Springfield for game two of a five-game series against the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins.

Wednesday marked the first playoff game in the franchise’s history and the Thunderbirds won it four to one. Thursday’s game had the same buzz as Wednesday night’s, with fans coming out to support the T-Birds.

The final score from Thursday night at the MassMutual Center, 6-2, with the Thunderbirds coming out on top, again.
