5-for-6 Day for Nishio
5 hits in a game is a rare thing, but Kyoto's Naonobu Nishio made it happen against the Reliables. Everything came together at the plate for the 28-year-old center fielder as he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats -- and helped the Owls triumph, 14-3, at Nagoya Minami Stadium.

"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Nishio said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."

Naonobu Nishio singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Takamichi Smith in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

This year, Nishio has hit at a .238 clip with 96 RBIs, 27 home runs and 67 runs scored.
