Seibu stopped leader Softbank, who had won 12 consecutive victories, with Takeya Nakamura’s 21st full base bullet (37).

8th inning to chase 1 point, 1 dead base, full base arc No. 8 reversed to left middle. With his 21st Grand Slam, which breaks his professional baseball record, he has now prevented Softbank from winning the undercard and the team’s third consecutive victory. He called for a victory close to two games difference from second-place Lotte, and added flowers to the 62nd birthday of director Tsuji Hatsuhiko, who won a total of 300 victories.

The protagonist was another person who loved the complete base. 8 times 1 dead base. Nakamura didn’t miss the fact that four balls in a row floated higher. Fully reversed towards the center on the left. The batting line remained silent in front of Softbank pitchers, but it was a great opportunity to visit with 3 four balls, and last season’s complete base record was 32 hits, 17 hits, 4 home hits and one. 50% hit rate, 3 minutes, 1 square. .. “I set the zone to hit a little higher, so I just hit it.” The significance of the 21st full base bullet was excellent for both teams.

If he lost, he was in danger of losing his third win in a row. The opponent is Softbank, which has the momentum of 12 consecutive wins. Also, 3 consecutive battles in enemy territory. If he lost three games in a row, he could see the rise of his nemesis. I wondered if I was enduring immeasurable pressure, but Hyakusen Renma’s Nakamura said, “I didn’t know. I didn’t know much.” He became the protagonist of the synonymous base of operations and stopped his rivals.

The best stage was led by the obsession of the 62-year-old. Director Tsuji quickly replaced the starting ten turtles, who were sticky with one goal, three times. Hirai was thrown and sent his left arm Ogawa to a point with two kills in the fifth inning. As a short-term decisive battle, he continued to launch one after another and managed to reverse with eight attacks, which he received within a point of difference. This day is the birthday of director Tsuji, who sent seven pitchers. But Nakamura said, “Well, I didn’t think about that in the batter’s box. It was good.” It was the best gift.

This is 2 games behind Lotte in 2nd place. Starring Nakamura and directing Tsuji, Seibu, who has turned around, demonstrates his power in the final stages. “I don’t know what to do, but I’ll think about it after I wake up tomorrow.” The usual reload is back.[Nariyoshi Kurita]

Seibu Hirai (I came up from 4th half and completed 2/3 once) “It felt good so I tried to pitch with confidence. I think I was able to contribute to the team for the first time in a long time.”

Seibu Moriwaki (6th win with 3 players on board in the 7th inning) “Although it wasn’t good these days, there were some games that I was able to suppress as a result, but I’m happy today. I’m happy that the team won.”
