 | Thompson Pounds 3 HR Against Diablos Monday, September 26th, 2050 Mike Thompson penned his name in the record books after an explosive home run spree against Mexico City. He's now among the select sluggers who have hit three home runs in a game. In his record-setting day at Corona Field the Alcatraz Island second baseman went 4-for-6 with 7 RBIs and scored 3 times in the 19-1 victory over the Diablos. "It was just one of those days," he said in the postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball." "Thompson was locked in," the Mexico City skipper said. "We made some pretty good pitches. Those first two homers were exactly where the pitcher wanted to put them. He's pretty hot right now. You've just got to tip your hat." Mike Thompson hit a solo-shot off Ron Harper in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off José Franco in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Fred Carter in the 7th and singled in the 8th. Thompson is currently hitting at a .322 pace with 16 home runs and 48 RBIs. |   |
