 | Morioka Gets 5 Hits Sunday, September 23rd , 1962 Players get multi-hit games all the time, but 5-hit ones are a whole lot rarer. It happened at Kanda Stadium when Sunao Morioka of Hosho scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Denki Dynamics. He went 5-for-6 in a career performance to help the Reliables get by the Dynamics, 11-6. The third baseman was in a talkative and jovial mood after the game, saying his swing "was really, really there today." "I made some good, sweet-spot contact and when that happens, good things happen," he said. "You know, like going 5-for-6. I could get used to days like this." Sunao Morioka hit an RBI double in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Tadahito Koike in the 7th and singled in the 9th. Morioka currently has a .315 batting average with 146 hits, 17 homers, 70 RBIs, 62 runs scored and a .391 OBP. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |   |
