5-Hit Barrage by Sugiyama
Takahide Sugiyama put on a hitting clinic as the CL (Ni-Gun) Marines dumped the OR (Ni-Gun) Buffaloes, 11-8, at Urawa Baseball Ground.

The CL (Ni-Gun) second baseman made OR (Ni-Gun) defenders earn their pay, lashing OR (Ni-Gun) pitching for 5 hits in 6 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," Sugiyama said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Takahide Sugiyama singled in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, hit an RBI triple in the 4th, singled in the 5th, grounded out in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

In this current campaign Sugiyama is hitting at a .323 clip with 1 home run and 19 RBIs.
