5-for-6 Day for Thiel Thursday, June 2nd , 2078 Fans at Barnstormers Ballpark got to see not only a home-team victory, but also one of the most impressive feats of hitting of the season. The Oceanside Barnstormers outplayed the Rockford Bulldogs en route to a 5-4 win, but the standout was right fielder Pete Thiel. Thiel netted 5 hits in 6 at-bats and finished with a dynamite game line. "Hey, we tried everything we could think of to get him out," Bulldogs manager said in postgame comments. "We threw everything but the kitchen sink against him and he hit it. Maybe we should've thrown the sink, too." Pete Thiel doubled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Min-heui Hahn in the 6th, singled in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Steve Zuehlke in the 9th and grounded out in the 11th. This season, Thiel is swinging the bat at a .279 rate with 38 hits in 136 at-bats. To date he has hit 9 home runs, scored 19 runs and driven in 25. View Boxscore |
