Fujii Bashes 5 Base Hits
A jubilant Tsuguhiro Fujii joined the postgame press conference at Lions Baseball ground 2 to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Oita Monsters pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Chofu Marksmen third baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 19-2 Marksmen win.

"He made it look easy," said Hidetoshi Tsuburaya, manager of the Monsters. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Tsuguhiro Fujii was hit by a pitch in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Monta Yamazaki in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This year, Fujii has hit 3 home runs and posted a .287 batting average.
