Fighters Take the Wiz at Sloan Park

Ryo Watanabe drilled a two-run double, singled twice, and scored a run, Taishi Ohta hammered two doubles, drove-in two runs, and scored another, and Kenta Uehara and four relievers combined tio toss a three-hitter, as the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters (NPB Pacific League) honey-baked the KT Wiz (KBO) 9-1 in Spring Training game action this afternoon at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ

Tae-Hyuk Nam slugged a solo home run onto the LF berm to account for the loan Wiz run.

Both teams are taking Spring Training in Arizona, with the Fighters based at the Peoria Sports Complex in the Phoenix metro area, and the Wiz based in Tucson (the NC Dinos of the KBO are also taking Spring Training in Tucson).
