Thomas Goes on Rampage Against Bisons
Saturday, June 5th, 2021
Today at Coca-Cola Field, Alek Thomas put on an impressive display.

The Durham Bulls center fielder tagged Buffalo pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats, but his teammates were unable to capitalize on the spree and lost the game to the Buffalo Bisons by the score of 4-3.

"The loss takes some of the joy out of it, but I'll take it," Thomas said. "5-for-5 ain't bad in any league."

Despite the terrific performance, the Bulls manager was unwilling to offer his center fielder much praise, saying he holds his "whole roster" accountable for losses.

"Alek told me 'Coach, I had 5 hits' and I said 'Well that's great, but it looks like we needed one more from you,'" manager Will Clark said.

Alek Thomas singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jake Arrieta in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

This year Thomas is batting .244 with 2 home runs.
