 | Kanazawa Goes on Rampage Against Stars Friday, September 19th , 1975 It was a sensational day at the plate for Taira Kanazawa as he led the charge to a nifty 11-4 win over the Stars. The Kinboshi center fielder was pure misery for the Nagasaki pitching staff. He left them shell-shocked with 5 hits in 5 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting. "Kanazawa put the ball into play and he really hit it hard," said Okura Ichimura, manager for the Stars, after the game. "When you do that, you've got a good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball." Taira Kanazawa singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 7th. This year, Kanazawa has socked 146 hits in 487 at-bats for a .300 average with 11 home runs. He is getting on base at a .342 pace and his totals also include 57 RBIs and 53 runs scored.
