O’Fallon scored their lone run in the bottom of the seventh when Kyle Byrne doubled with one out to lead off the inning. His older brother, Kaden, would then single him in a batter later to cut the Hoots deficit to one run.
Thrillville would respond with two more runs in the top of the eight inning, highlighted by a Cole Freeman RBI double and a Josh Griffin RBI single.
They scored one more in the top of the ninth when Mark Kattula scored on the Hoots third error of the night.
Wright earns the victory for Thrillville and Wilson is charged with the loss for the Hoots.
