Kaneko 5-5 Against San Diego Monday, April 17th, 2023 5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game, and you get your moment of glory, your fifteen minutes of fame -- you get your name in the record book. In the Republic 18-0 win over San Diego, Hirotsugu Kaneko was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at House of the Republic. "To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for a 5-hit game. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close." On his big day Kaneko delivered 5 hits in 5 at-bats. Hirotsugu Kaneko singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a three-run double in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI double in the 7th. This season Kaneko is batting .263 with 6 RBIs, 6 runs scored and 1 home run. |
