Masayoshi Kokawa Wallops 3 Homers for Phantoms
Sunday, August 20th , 2062
Huntsville Phantoms bombardier Masayoshi Kokawa set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club beat the Boulder Crush, 8-5.
"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Kokawa told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."
For the game, the Huntsville left fielder had 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 3, and scored 4 runs.
Masayoshi Kokawa hit a solo-shot off Pedro Castaneda in the 1st, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Emílio Rodríguez in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off José Lara in the 9th.
This season, Kokawa is swinging the bat at a .281 pace. He has hit 13 home runs and scored 55 times, while driving in 40. His on-base percentage is .345 and he has played in 109 games.
