Four-bagger Feast: Horio Slugs 3 for Providence C Tuesday, May 20th , 1958 In a powerful performance that left the fans at Emperors Grounds buzzing, Providence C Jackrabbits catcher Nariaki Horio blasted a trio of home runs en route to a win, 11-3, over the Sicily C Emperors. "Everything was clicking," Horio told the press. "My timing was good and I got pitches I could handle and I didn't miss them." Horio shined brilliantly in the win, with 3 hits in 3 at-bats, 6 RBIs and 4 runs scored. "It's not just one guy, it's everybody," Jackrabbits manager said. "Nariaki played great but it takes more than one guy to win a game." Nariaki Horio hit a solo-shot off Manfredi Giardiola in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Manfredi Giardiola in the 3rd, was hit by a pitch in the 5th, was hit by a pitch in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Pasquale Wangler in the 8th. So far this year, Horio has 7 home runs and a .406 batting average. |
