Lotte has erased her strengths. In the game against Softbank thus far, he missed four balls, but stole them and defended. This principle has been broken.

There were two sensitive scenes about the trial. Kawase’s sacrifice struck before throwing to first and second base without dying. When Minoru Nakamura caught the ball, catcher Kakinuma was instructing to throw the ball at first base. After that, from second and third base, Zhou East’s timely hit gave him 2 points. It seems that Kakinuma’s decision was a bit quick in this sacrifice process. The start of the second run, Akira Nakamura, was not so good, and there was a chance that third baseman would die.

In the 3rd inning, Minoru Nakamura and 2nd Higashizuma’s 3 quadrupled 3 points. The seventh point that is not good. In this game, he was tough with 8 balls.

By contrast, Softbank gave three. 0 the day before. In the last two games, it seems that the number of four balls delivered so far has improved and the match against Lotte has finally ignited. It was also brilliant that Shuto made up for yesterday’s mistake with good defense. Gambling errors can only be recovered by playing. It is worth doing what you can do the next day, not after the days have passed. It would have been saved as the feelings of the leaders. In the early stages of the starting lineup, Higashihama was unable to control the ball and scored 3 goals, but was protected by a large number of points.

However, this does not mean that Softbank’s weakness in Lotte has disappeared. The cause of the fight is a game of four balls and mistakes, and the key is whether we can keep reducing the number of four balls and stabilize the defense. For both teams, the third race is very important. (Daily sports critic)
