Samurakami Rips Thunder Bay for 5 Hits
Wednesday, July 3rd, 2030
Yoshihito Samurakami put on a hitting clinic today as the Echo Park Lakers dumped the Thunder Bay Northern Lions BC 9-8 at Great Northern Field.
The Echo Park catcher made Thunder Bay defenders earn their pay, lashing Thunder Bay pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."
"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Samurakami said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."
Yoshihito Samurakami singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.
Samurakami is hitting .331 this year with 11 home runs and 26 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .350, 5 walks and scored 23 times.
