Thompson Sets Home Run Record with 67 Thursday, September 22nd, 2039 Home run number 67 shot off his bat like a bullet, soared into the sky, and then disappeared into the stands today at The Bayou at Heineken Field, breaking the single-season record held previously by Michael Keller. Now it belongs solely to Steve Thompson of the Irvine Gang Green. His manager praised Thompson for his work ethic. "Steve is totally focused on what he does, from hitting to running down the line. He doesn't go through the motions." Steve Thompson hit a sac fly in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, flied out in the 6th and homered off Carlos Días in the 8th. Thompson has a .348 average and a .408 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 209 hits, 67 home runs and driven in 181 runs. |
