Thompson Excels in 13-9 Ottawa Win
Runs were plentiful at Rivermen Ballpark.

In the 13-9 Ottawa win over Newport, the impact of Mark Thompson was substantial. Thompson, who is tied for 9th in the SL1 in triples with 4, went 4 for 5 with 3 doubles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Ottawa reliever Roger D'Anna picked up the win, raising his record to 3-2. Matt Bowden was tagged with the loss.

Sean Gery had a big 2-run double for the Lynx in the bottom of the first inning. With Ottawa leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 21-year old left-handed pitcher Matt Bowden and swatted a double to left. It was his 13th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Lynx ahead, 3-0.

"I still think this team can play even better," Thompson told the Ottawa Citizen.

Ottawa currently is in second place in the Sub League 1 East Division at 74-49.
