5 Hits for Buffaloes Kieu Wednesday, July 6th, 2022 "Ever since I picked up my first bat my coaches were always saying to keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing... just make contact and ya never know what'll happen," Hoang Kieu told reporters after the game. "That's all I did today. I made contact and it turned out well." It definitely turned out well for the ORIX center fielder today as he collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats against Hokkaido Nippon-Ham. But not so good for his team, as the Fighters took the game at Ballpark of Hakui College, whipping the Buffaloes 11-8. Hoang Kieu singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, walked in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This season Kieu has hit at a .490 clip with 14 RBIs, 2 home runs and 11 runs scored. He has played in 13 games. |
