Konishi Goes 5-for-5: It was a parade of hits for Shoichi Konishi of the Tokyo Samurai at Dragons Field today.
Connecting almost every time he went to the plate, Konishi finished the day with a total of 5 hits in 5 at-bats. His strong individual effort propelled the Samurai to a 22-1 victory. "Konishi was really good and we were really bad," groaned Dragons manager Harold Blackford. "Next time he's that hot, we'll just walk him." Shoichi Konishi hit a solo-shot off Sabir Mir in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, walked in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and walked in a run in the 9th.
