Softbank Ryoya Kurihara (24) has made a name for himself as a “serial man”. He participated in the “SMBC Japan Series” which opened at Kyocera Dome Osaka for the first time, and had 3 hits and 4 points, including first base.

In the first at bat, second inning without death, 2 runs from the giant Kanno. In the sixth inning, he hit a spot double of 2 points in the middle. Wakataka, who was hitless in the climax series (CS), came to life with the “Maron cannon”, which is perfect for the “chestnut” season, and delivered himself as a serial man.
