Thompson hits 2 home runs to Fuel Paints Offense
Geoff Thompson led the Aurora Paints to a nifty 15-6 win over the Tacoma Thunder Wolves. The Aurora left fielder was a force of nature. He banged out 4 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 2 doubles. Matthew Davi, the winning pitcher, is now 10-11. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 11 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 2. The Paints improved to 61-64.

Freddy Chavez's at-bat in the top of the sixth was significant, coming with runners on 1st and 2nd and the game tied, 2-2. The Aurora shortstop hit a run-scoring single off Ricardo Orozco to put the Paints up.

"We're obviously playing with a lot of confidence," said Aurora manager Orlando Salinas.
