5 Hits for Bowsers Yamamoto Wednesday, May 8th , 2024 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-7 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Yoneo Yamamoto, it came around today. The 22-year-old shortstop scattered hits all over Aggies Ballpark to pace the 19-7 Columbus Bowsers victory over the Atlanta Aggies. Atlanta skipper Jeremiah Simpson told reporters in the press room that "Yamamoto deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Yamamoto hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Yoneo Yamamoto grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, flied out in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Jim Unknown in the 8th and singled in the 9th. Yamamoto is swinging at a .300 pace on the year with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs and 18 runs scored. He has played in 32 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
