 | Goto Hits in 20 Consecutive Games Thursday, August 9th, 2012: The Hawks proved to be mere mortals today as they lost to the Lions 2-1, but Tsuneari Goto continued his god-like hitting as he collected 1 hit and ran his hitting streak to 20 games.
When asked about his torrid-hitting right fielder, the Fukuoka SoftBank skipper said, "Goto is playing great and is on fire now. Hopefully his play can spark the rest of our team and help us pick up some wins."
Goto was apparently not happy with the game and when pressed by reporters in the locker room only said, "We lost the game. Nothing else really matters." Tsuneari Goto grounded out in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, grounded out in the 7th and struck out in the 9th.
This season Goto is hitting .293 with 3 home runs. |   |
