Fumiya Kurokawa of the Eagles is wintering in Australia, spending the first half of the Australian Baseball League's 2024-25 season with the Perth Heat. This weekend, the Heat were in Adelaide, playing a four game set against the Giants. The two teams played a double-header on Friday and Adelaide was up 1-0 in the top of the third of the nightcap when Kurokawa came to bat with the bases loaded. He promptly un-loaded them, hitting a grand slam over the right field wall on the first pitch of the at bat from fellow NPB import Ryusei Yamada (of the Yomiuri Giants):
Kurokawa's slam made it 4-1 in favor of Perth who went on to win the game 9-3. Here's his 2021 BBM Eagles card (#E51):
