Blast Off! 3 HR for Takahashi Thursday, June 25th, 2015 Bombs away! Tohoku Rakuten bombardier Kokei Takahashi set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence in a 22-2 win over the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. It was a powerful performance that should keep the fans at Ballpark of Aomori College buzzing for days. He spoke to the writers in the postgame press room and said, "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today... especially on the last one... I was ahead in the count, so I got set for a certain pitch... and got it... all of it." For the game the Tohoku Rakuten left fielder had 3 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 7 and scored 3 runs. Kokei Takahashi grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Norogumi Kawakami in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Eiji Oka in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, walked in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Sadahige Ine in the 8th and struck out in the 9th. |
