Kakuta Belts Bunch of Base Hits Friday, May 19th, 2023 Otojiro Kakuta of the Giants was unstoppable in today's 12-2 victory over the Hiroshima Toyo Carp at Frogs Ballpark. He battered them for 5 hits in 5 at-bats. "Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Yomiuri left fielder after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 5-5 won't hurt your batting average like 0-5 will." Otojiro Kakuta doubled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Akihiro Hamada in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, walked in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off Kozue Ogawa in the 9th.
