Big Day with Bat: Koyama 5-for-5
Mexico City third baseman Eisaku Koyama could do no wrong in today's 13-4 win over the Toucans as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Toucans skipper Casey Blake DeWitt said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Koyama agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Eisaku Koyama singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, was hit by a pitch in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

This season Koyama is swinging the bat at a .387 rate with 43 hits in 111 at-bats. To date he has hit 2 home runs, scored 24 runs and driven in 23.
