5-Hit Game for Vijayanath Wednesday, June 21st, 2017 "It was like I was hitting little league pitching again," said Ambhoruha Vijayanath after his 5-hit performanace against the Tigers. "No offense meant to Hanshin, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Ballpark of Otofuke College. I'm just not too happy that we lost 16-15." The Chiba Lotte first baseman had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 6 at-bats. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Ambhoruha worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits." "That's what I'm trying to do," Vijayanath said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it. It sure did work today." Ambhoruha Vijayanath hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Huy Nguyen-Khoa in the 7th, singled in the 8th and struck out in the 10th.
