Infielder Nippon-Ham Sho Nakata (31) hit a home run for the first time in 11 years from pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (32).

Even as he passed from the moment of Kin awakening, the match with Masaru Tanaka, who said, “I always thought I didn’t like him,” was the scene of first death, first and second base. I caught the ball shifting from the 2-2 count to the outside angle while out of time, and drew 3 runs to the left center grass seat. “I think it’s a slider. It was in the center, so I thought it would fly. It was completely out of time, but I was lucky,” he recalled.

After the change, Masaru Tanaka said, “Don’t hit” and said, “It just happened.” “Maybe it’s because I’ve seen him pitch in the majors, but Mr. Tanaka was very big. There was an aura. Even if I decorated the hits with a Masaru Tanaka bow, I was in mourning.
