Asano Pounds HR #300 Friday, July 24th , 2076 Alaska defeated Tucson today 10-4 and took some of the joy out of Tohru Asano's 300th career home run. "I just wanted to get a good swing on the ball all day," Asano said. "And I did." Despite the loss, it was a good game for the 33-year-old Toros right fielder. He had 2 hits, scored 2 runs and had 3 runs batted in. The Kodiaks manager said, "You could see he was aggressive up there. The worst thing we did was throw him a strike. It probably would have been better if we threw the ball outside of the strike zone every time he came to the plate because he seemed like he was in a hurry to get it over with." In his career Asano has played in 1718 games, batted .307 with 300 home runs and 2047 base hits. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
