Swing! Swang! Swung! Tabata Smashes 3 HR Sunday, August 1st , 2083 Takanobu Tabata went yard three times in a San Bernadino Sun Devils victory over the Hamilton Argonauts at Hamilton Ballpark. "I was in a groove," he said. "Every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit." For the day, the San Bernadino first baseman went 3-for-4 against Hamilton with 7 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Sun Devils to the 9-2 win. "I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out." Takanobu Tabata hit a three-run home run off Corey Kueck in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Corey Kueck in the 2nd, was hit by a pitch in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Gustav Heinrich in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th. Tabata is swinging at a .297 pace on the year with 10 home runs, 22 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He has played in 33 games. |
