Kobayashi Sizzles -- Smokes Lakers for 5 Hits
Even as a kid, Masaharu Kobayashi said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Cutters Ballpark today, Kobayashi showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 20-year-old center fielder had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the North Ridgeville River Bandits, helping his team knock off the Manitou Lakers by a score of 4-1.

"They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today."

Masaharu Kobayashi singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Kenny Shoemaker in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Presently Kobayashi is hitting .243 with 1 home run and 4 RBIs. He has played in 9 games and scored 3 times.
