Yamagata Raps Martinez for 5 Hits Tuesday, April 30th , 2052 Mario Yamagata was a tough out and went 5-for-8 in a fine hitting display today, but the Martinez Clippers managed to overcome his performance and top the Napa Silverados, 3-2. "I got my pitches and I connected," Yamagata said. "They all found the right holes on the diamond. Some days you hit shots and they're right at somebody, and some days they fall in. And some days you lose, no matter how well you play." On this occasion, Yamagata played well enough to get his name in the record books. Mario Yamagata singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, struck out in the 6th, struck out in the 8th, doubled in the 10th, hit a solo-shot off Sylvan Bakke in the 13th, doubled in the 14th and flied out in the 16th. This season Yamagata has hit at a .326 clip with 12 RBIs, 5 home runs and 17 runs scored. He has played in 21 games. View Boxscore |
