Thompson Recognized As ACC Player of the Week
GREENSBORO, N.C. – After powering No. 17 Miami to a perfect 5-0 week, Hurricanes junior third baseman David Thompson was recognized as the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week Monday.
Thompson hit an eye-popping .524 (11-for-21) over Miami’s five wins, including two doubles, three home runs and a team-high 13 RBI. Thompson’s walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning of game one keyed a three-game sweep of NC State, and he scored five runs over the course of the week.
In a 15-4 win over FGCU on March 10, Thompson set career marks with four hits and six RBI and came just a triple shy of the cycle. For the season, he is hitting .354 with team-high totals of four home runs and 26 RBI.
Miami has a 12-1 record at Mark Light Field this season, and is ranked in the top 25 of every national poll. The Hurricanes return to the diamond Tuesday for a midweek matchup with Army before traveling to Wake Forest for a weekend series. To buy tickets to Tuesday’s game against Army, click HERE.
