Thomas goes 3-for-4, Golden Gophers Move to 2-0
Little Rock third baseman Neil Thomas had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the St. Joseph Mighty Mites, 5-2. Andy Roberts picked up his 1st save of the season. Little Rock, now 2-0, is setting the league on fire so far.

Thomas had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a 2-1 fastball from Bobby Nicholson, he banged a grand slam home run to right, giving the Golden Gophers a 4-0 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Thomas.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Thomas told the Little Rock Observer.
