12 Why did you win even with all four dead balls? “The King’s Sense of Unity” Symbolized by the Transcendental Beauty of the Falcon and Imamiya | Full-Count

■ Softbank 3-2 Lotte (27, PayPay Dome)

[PR]Watch the official NPB games anytime, anywhere at a great price. If you want to watch professional baseball, “DAZN”, the “Free First Month Campaign” is on.

Softbank won the first two consecutive victories with a spectacular farewell victory. In Round 2 with Lotte held at the PayPay Dome on the 27th, Kenta Imamiya’s infielder fired a parting blow over the middle in the ninth inning as the pitchers hit a total of 12 and four dead balls. The game is over.

The hero of the day was Imamiya without complaint. It’s not just the last round of goodbye. One of the most important plays was the super fine game that I showed for the first time.

Rei Takahashi, the starting pitcher whose ball control has not been decided from the start. If you hit Ogino on a pitch in the beginning, he will also hit Yasuda on a 2-kill pitch. Sugano and Shosei Nakamura were walked back-to-back and lost a point on the push. It was after this that Imamiya’s beauty came out.

It’s still a big hint of two dead bases. The ball hit by Toritani here turned into a bitter roll for Sanyu. Imamiya jumps to the side and catches him. Also, I sent him to first base on a no-step pitch without being in good position, and came out on a short break. It was a great play that stopped the flow where it could lead to a lot of goals if missed.

After the match, Imamiya himself said: “I think the bases loaded were very big when I thought about that when it ended as a result, and they were all sticky and got a lot of walks, but I managed to keep it at 2 points and attack. Catch up. very happy to have won. ” And in this work you can see the essence of Softbank’s strength, which has been the best in Japan for four consecutive years.
