Great Day for Thomas -- 5 Hits
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the Savannah's 14-3 win over Hickory, second baseman Ed Thomas was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at L.P. Frans Stadium.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Thomas said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

Ed Thomas hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI triple in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

At present, Thomas is batting .367 and has collected 7 home runs, 26 RBIs, .434 OBP and scored 36 runs.
