Great Day for Compton -- 5 Hits
Austin Compton exploded for a barrage of base hits at Gladiators Ballpark.

The Halifax third baseman had a field day in his team's 9-2 triumph over the Phoenix Gladiators, finishing 5-for-5.

"My hitting philosophy is simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch."

Compton must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too, leading to one of his best days ever with the bat. Austin Compton hit a two-run home run off Johnny Keener in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

This season, Compton has hit at a .237 clip and produced 82 RBI, 21 home runs and 73 runs.
