5-Hit Blitz by Fort Worth's Okamoto Saturday, August 19th, 2017 Players get multihit games all the time. But a 5-hit game comes around only once in a blue moon. It happened at Cruz Bay Park when Michihiro Okamoto of Fort Worth scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Toledo Raptors. He walloped 5 hits in 6 at-bats in his career-day performance to help the Cats get by the Raptors 12-2. In a talkative and jovial mood after the game, the right fielder of the Cats said, "Whoa, my swing was really, really there today. I made some good, sweet-spot contact and when that happens... good things happen... like 5-6. I could get used to a lot of days like this one." Michihiro Okamoto singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. In his 2017 season totals, Okamoto has 3 home runs, .352 BA, .381 OBP, 27 RBIs and 32 runs scored. |
