Thorne 5-for-5 Against Frigates Friday, April 12th , 2052 A jubilant Robbie Thorne joined the postgame press conference at NYSEG Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Halifax Frigates pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Binghamton Rumble Ponies first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Rumble Ponies to a 20-3 win. "He made it look easy," said Leo Olvera, manager of the Frigates. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Robbie Thorne singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, doubled in the 6th, hit a two-run double in the 6th and hit a two-run double in the 7th. This season in 5 games Thorne is batting .471 with no home runs, 5 RBIs and has scored 4 times. View Boxscore |
