Aoki Raps Sackville for 5 Hits Sunday, June 24th , 2018 A jubilant Norichika Aoki joined the postgame press conference at Sackville Grounds to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Sackville Prairie Dogs pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Dallas Fisher Cats right fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-7 hitting performance, which led to the 10-7 Fisher Cats win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Prairie Dogs. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Norichika Aoki singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and flied out in the 9th. Aoki is batting .281 this year with 3 home runs, 14 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He has 59 hits in 210 at-bats. |
