| Monday, September 20th, 2027: Hayashi Goes 5-5
Shigemasa Hayashi was on quite a roll today as he knocked the ball all over the park, collecting 5 hits and leading the Pirates to a 9-8 victory over the Floride Marlins.
After the first three hits, all eyes in the ballpark were drawn to him each time he stepped into the batter's box. Even a few of the opposing fans were pulling for him, knowing they were watching a little baseball-hitting history unfold.
In the clubhouse, crowded by reporters, the Pittsburgh left fielder said, "I never realized that batting a little ball around could cause so much commotion." When asked what the secret of hitting so well is, he smiled and replied, "The key to hitting for a high average is to relax, concentrate and hit the ball where they ain't."
Nobody was at home today as Hayashi finished the day with 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a line in the record book.
S. Hayashi singled in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off D. Osborne in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off M. Goodwin in the 10th.
This season in 128 games, Hayashi has hit at a .350 clip with 186 hits, 25 home runs, 97 RBIs and 109 runs scored.
