Tanaka Crushes 3 Homers Against Tiverton Tuesday, April 13th , 2021 Moncton Mounties bombardier Kikuji Tanaka set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club beat the Tiverton Colonels, 13-0. "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Tanaka 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 Moncton center fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs. Kikuji Tanaka hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a sac fly in the 4th, walked in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 9th. This season, Tanaka has delivered 6 hits in 25 at-bats for a .240 average with 3 home runs. He is getting on base at a .333 clip and his totals also include 5 RBIs and 7 runs scored. This year Tanaka has played in 8 games. |
