Bucs Pitching Ravaged by Thompson
5 hits in a game is generally considered a noteworthy achievement, but for <Steve Thompson:player#12219>, it felt rather hollow.

The 19-year-old went 5-for-5 at the plate at Bulldog Grounds today, but his <Punta Gorda Bulldogs:team#70> fell to the <Bradenton Bucs:team#69>, 7-6.

"It's hard to get too excited," the first baseman told BNN following the game. "After a game like this, everyone's quiet and they just want to go home."

<Steve Thompson:player#12219> singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off <Chris Frias:player#12599> in the 4th, singled in the 5th, walked in the 8th, hit an RBI single in the 9th and singled in the 11th.

Batting .324 to date, Thompson has 9 home runs and 49 RBIs.
