Thomas Goes Downtown 3 Times Against Pirates Monday, October 24th , 2050 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Justin Thomas can celebrate. The Philadelphia (APP) Phillies first baseman powered three into the stands at Philadelphia Phillies Complex today against the Bristol Pirates. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Thomas told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 3-for-3 as the Phillies toppled Bristol by a score of 20-8, knocking in 6 runs and scoring 4 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Philadelphia (APP) manager Reid Budrovich said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Justin Thomas was hit by a pitch in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Otok Barleyfoot in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Don Rodgers in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Kay Cooper in the 5th, walked in the 7th and was hit by a pitch in the 8th. This season Thomas is batting .251 with 37 home runs. |
