Hit Parade: Thompson Pops 5 Hits
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Sterlin Thompson -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at Millers Ballpark and paced the 17-6 Millers win over the Reading Roughnecks.

After his dynamite batting performance, the Madison third baseman told reporters that he "just tried to get in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control."

His philosophy paid dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 6 tries and put his name in the record book. Sterlin Thompson singled in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and doubled in the 8th.

This year, Thompson has 19 home runs and a .375 batting average.
