 | Kobayashi 5-5 Against Hawks Sunday, June 10th, 2012: During a player's career, there are days that stand out and this day was definitely special! Takanibu Kobayashi went 5 for 5 against the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks at Ballpark of Hakui College and the Fighters picked up a 10-4 victory. "What a day!" he said. "We win and I get 5 hits! Couldn't be better!" "He was patient up there today," the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham skipper told the press after the game. "I like the way he waited for his pitch and wasn't overly agressive. Kobayashi has a tendency to go after some bad balls sometimes." Takanibu Kobayashi singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 7th. So far this season Kobayashi is batting .406 with 3 home runs. |   |
