5-for-6 Day for Kawakami Tuesday, May 14th, 2019 It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Ryuhei Kawakami. It was a very special day, one that many players never experience. But he did. Kawakami went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Seibu (Ni-Gun) pitching. When the dust settled on the diamond at Lions Baseball ground 2, he had a career 5-for-6 day and something he will long remember. And the Tokyo Yakult (Ni-Gun) Swallows had a 11-10 victory over the Lions. "Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview. Ryuhei Kawakami struck out in the 1st, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, hit a two-run double in the 8th and singled in the 10th. This season Kawakami is batting .400 with 1 home run. His totals include 9 RBIs and 5 runs scored. |
