 | 5-Hit Game for Inoue Sunday, August 14th, 2016 Saitama Seibu catcher Noriyuki Inoue really lit up the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks with a 5-hit barrage today at Field of the Chariots -- a performance that sparked the Lions to a 13-11 triumph. He shrugged off the performance after the game and said, "Sometimes the ball finds outfielders, today the ball found some holes." Noriyuki Inoue singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, singled in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and singled in the 10th. This season Inoue has hit at a .238 clip with 34 RBIs, 6 home runs and 43 runs scored. He has played in 76 games. |   |
