The succession of volunteers did not materialize and the giant Shosei Togo (20) missed the first professional stamp with one more.

127 balls at the end of throwing 8 times. “I let you go. My rival is (Hiroshima) Morishita, and I have to shave and shoot to beat him. The sweetness of the filling there is the actual result. I think it has been converted. “

Hiroshima Morishita, who has been competing for the rookie king, has already won 10 victories. To catch up and overtake rivals.

The 139th ball thrown by Togo. Ryo Hiroshima Kikuchi carried a 144-kilometer outside angled straight ball to the right wing seat for two runs.

“The last ball. It didn’t lead to a full pitch. After all, the yellow flag is back. Like the previous (DeNA) Lopez, I was very aware of that.”

A second-year high school graduate who joined the team in 6th place in the draft. He has challenged Hiroshima Morishita with the goal of being a rookie king. “I won the championship, which was my goal, and for the rest of the season, I am heading for my title. I think they all are, but for that I also tried to improve my level. After all, regret is the best. “

After the match, Hara reached out to the young right arm who volunteered to keep pitching. I crossed my shoulders and spoke with my ears.

“It was a good pitch. Well, it will be a source of food. However, in many ways, I was able to pitch like Togo,” he said. He continued deciding to continue casting, “because he had a strong will.”

Togo threw the most 146 balls after joining the professional and scored 2 goals in the ninth inning. Next Tuesday the 10th, the Hanshin War is in Koshien. Team game 119. Even if he wins, it is the ninth victory. It does not reach Morishita. He is still volunteering for the starting lineup. In my heart, I had a promise to Kazutomo Miyamoto, the main pitcher.

“Since before the season, I’ve been telling you to pitch at the end too. Like me, I wanted Mr. Miyamoto to win today. They’ve supported me so far. So. That’s a payoff. I think pitchers will be easier if They throw it out completely. That ball also erased the team’s victory. Thinking it was a winning game, I’m cautious. I think the result was different. “

Use all your experience to move on. “I think they will kick me out one more time. I would like to do everything possible to get the ticket for the Japan series.”
