# Don’t lose with Corona The savior reappears in Lotte. Kyodai Fujiwara, a 20-year-old outfielder heading left, claimed victory in the battle for the lead with 3 hits, 1 hit and 1 steal. During the Osaka Kirikage era, the “winning contractor” who contributed greatly to the back-to-back Koshien Spring and Summer Championships in 2018 has even begun to shine professionally. With many of the top players leaving due to the crown crash, the game gap to the leading Softbank is finally 0. If he wins consecutively on the 10th, he will eventually take the lead alone.

The big stage suits you. Lotte’s number one Fujiwara focused only on straight balls. 1 point advantage 6 times 2 kills 3rd base. “Since I had been counting directly, I was confident that it would come directly.” With a full swing we’re proud of, Softbank Moore’s second straight ball goes to the right front. The precious third shot was the third shot of the day.

In Koshien in my youth, I passed through many shrines. He’s also dependable in the battle for leadership, saying, “It’s more about trying than it is about tension.” The first ball, Moore’s straight ball, was suddenly tossed for a foul. “Going to swing, I felt like I was confident or that I could see the ball.” Immediately after the sixth timely hit, the first robbery is also scored. He fully demonstrated the qualities of a leader.

The main force withdrew due to the wreck of the crown, and an opportunity arose at the end of the second year of professional training, which was trained by the Second Army. In the 1st Army promotion news, he reveals that “hand sweat …”. In 58 Eastern League games, he hit 20% in 3 minutes and made 75 strikes. “I can’t say it’s a good result, but I felt like I’ve been growing at bat since last year,” he said. “I had the feeling that even an army could compete.” There were many strong blows.

White teeth dazzle on the base’s tanned face. Osaka Kirikage’s era, when he wanted the crown, was a long time ago. The environment for winning is a little different than high school baseball. Still, “I really feel like the crowd and the team are united on the bench,” he said, and it is true that he can make the most of it without feeling overwhelmed by the unique atmosphere.

It was Lotte in this season that the savior appeared after many people were off duty. “The player I have. When he comes out (on base), the team gets excited,” said the confident Iguchi. Overcoming adversity, we finally approached the Softbank leader at a game difference of 0. The winning young contractor starts to shine from here.[Mahito Kaneko]
