Watanabe Hits for Cycle Against Oslo
At OsloDome today, Katsuhiko Watanabe led Nairobi to a 14-7 victory over the Oslo Voyageurs by hitting for the cycle, one of baseball's more difficult feats.

"Usually the triple is the hardest one to get, but I was most worried about the homer today because the ball wasn't carrying," Watanabe said later. "When I took it deep, I was expecting the ball to die on the warning track, so it was sweet seeing the ump give me the signal to circle the bases."

In addition to going 4-for-6, Watanabe chalked up 2 RBI and scored 3 runs in an exceptional performance.

Katsuhiko Watanabe tripled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jaime Bartolani in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and struck out in the 9th.

In 5 games this season Watanabe has batted at a .450 pace with 9 hits and 2 home runs.
