Portland Lose, 6-0, to Flying Squirrels, Thompson
Tuesday, July 22nd , 2025
Mike Thompson of the Richmond Flying Squirrels was on top of his game.
The 23-year-old tantalized the Portland Sea Dogs with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 6-0.
"He had the changeup working," Portland manager Stu Cole said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."
The Richmond hurler had 5 strikeouts, gave up 3 walks and surrendered 3 hits in his complete-game effort.
Thompson told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."
"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.
