5-for-5 Game for Thornton
Monday, April 3rd , 2045
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Doug Thornton today -- a 5-hit day. He went on a rampage and sparkled on the diamond at Ebbetts Field South at Virginia Beach Diamond Club, but the performance lost a little luster when the Hollers were downed 7-5 by the Virginia Diamond Club.
After his glittering performance, the West Virginia center fielder told the press that he "just tried to get myself in a good count and have a good at-bat."
His batting theory paid dividends today as he slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book.
"I just wish we had added a win in the record book today, too," Thornton said.
Doug Thornton singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.
