Hanshin Tigers Spotlight 07/12/07

One of the hard things about being a fan of a Nippon Professional Baseball Team in the US is the lack of media coverage (save box scores lovingly translated by a very special few), so when I could dig up highlights of the Hanshin Tigers in action, I had to post them! What we have here is the key at bat of their July 12 game against the Yomiuri Giants. In this at bat Tiger's outfielder Kodai Sakurai hits a home run off Giants Reliever Yushi Aida to score what would be the winning runs, as Hanshin would win 4-3 in the 12th inning.

The Box Score From That Game:

GANBARE HANSHIN!
