Watanabe 5-for-5 Against South Carolina Thursday, August 13th , 2065 A jubilant Bor-zeng Watanabe joined the postgame press conference at Jackrabbits Ballpark today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the South Carolina Jackrabbits pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Indiana Gophers third baseman, "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-5 hitting performance, which led the Gophers to a 9-1 win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Jackrabbits. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Bor-zeng Watanabe singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 9th. Thus far this season Watanabe is hitting .266 with 1 home run, 21 RBIs and 54 runs scored. He has 115 hits in 433 at-bats and has played in 107 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
