Big Day with Bat: Kikuchi 5-for-5
Wednesday, March 6th, 2024
Next time the Carp might think twice about pitching to Kiyonaga Kikuchi. Today at Frogs Ballpark the Tohoku Rakuten left fielder really burned Hiroshima Toyo pitching, going 5-for-5 in the Golden Eagles 17-3 triumph. "When he's seeing the ball well," his skipper told reporters, "he can probably stroke a base hit blindfolded." Kiyonaga Kikuchi flied out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Yoritomo Takeuchi in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Shinkichi Kono in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, doubled in the 9th and hit an RBI double in the 9th.
