Four Home Runs in Game
[ Author: westbaystars | Posted: May 7, 2005 9:38 AM | YBS Fan ]

The record is four home runs in a single game, shared by the following:
Four Home Runs in a Game
Player (Team) Date vs. Team
Iwamoto Yoshiyuki (Shochiku) 1951.08.01 vs. Hanshin
Oh Sadaharu (Giants) 1964.05.03 vs. Hanshin
Tony Solaita (Nippon Ham) 1980.04.20 vs. Nankai (Game 2)
Nigel Wilson (Nippon Ham) 1997.06.21 vs. Kintetsu
Furuta Atsuya (Yakult) 2003.06.28 vs. Hiroshima
The above include up to the end of the 2004 season.

I'll continue looking for three in a game.

I have a copy of the Chunichi newspaper 2001 Carp booklet, with all the Carp records in Japanese. My Japanese isn't great, but there is an entry in it that might mean (?!) Allen hit four home runs for Carp in a game in 1990 - can anyone verify?

Three Home Runs in Game- Julio Zuleta
[ Author: Guest: alfredo Franceschi | Posted: May 7, 2005 10:09 PM ]

Did the Panamanian player Julio Zuleta connect with 3 three home run in one game in the Japanese baseball League? I am interested in the date and complete box score, if possible.
