Blanton Smacks 5 Hits for Thunder
5 hits in a game is generally considered a noteworthy achievement, but for Gene Blanton, it felt rather hollow.

The 26-year-old went 5-for-6 at the plate at Sonics Ballpark today, but his St. Petersburg Thunder fell to the Atlantic City Sonics, 9-6.

"It's hard to get too excited," the second baseman told BNN following the game. "After a game like this, everyone's quiet and they just want to go home."

Gene Blanton singled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.

Blanton is hitting .324 this season with 7 home runs, 50 RBIs and 44 runs scored. He has 99 hits in 306 at-bats.
