Catfish Pitching Ravaged by Nishida
5 times is the charm -- at least for Rikuu Nishida.

The Gainesville Gators left fielder tore up the Lakeland Catfish to the tune of 5 hits in 6 at-bats at Catfish Ballpark. The offensive onslaught from Nishida powered the 9-5 Gators win.

"Nishida was a tough out," Lakeland manager said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure."

Rikuu Nishida grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Mark Manfredi in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

Nishida is hitting .343 for the season with 7 home runs, 80 RBIs and 114 runs scored. He has 157 hits in 458 at-bats and played in 115 games.
