◇ 24th ◇ Koshien
Masahiro Tanaka, a 33-year-old pitcher, has pitched at Koshien for the first time in 3283 days since May 28, 2013. The year that remains in the history of the ball, which led to the undefeated 24 wins and 1 save in the official game and the first league championship in the history of the team. He continued to overwhelm the batter, as he did nine years ago. In the first inning, Koji Chikamoto hit a double, followed by Nakano as a sacrifice bunt, and Marte walked. I suddenly got a pinch with 1 death, 1st and 3rd base. Teruaki Sato, who was 4th, was double-played on the second base with a straight ball with a count of 1-1 to 150km. He slammed the grab and barked as he survived without a goal.
In the 4th inning, Nakano hit the left wing with a triple. He is a pinch of third base without death. Made his eyes sharper. Marte is a playground, Teruaki Sato is a middle flight, and Oyama is a villain. He nodded and grabbed his right hand. In the 5th inning, 1 death, 1st and 2nd base pinch. He struck out without letting Yuki Nishi, who was in a bunt position, roll. The following Chikamoto also struck out. In the absence of batting support, he closed the Hanshin Tigers with no runs up to 5 times and barked again on the mound.
Komadai Tomakomai was a sacred place that made high school baseball fans excited. Before pitching, “There will be many Tigers fans, and it is one of the teams with many professional baseball and enthusiastic fans in the world. I wish I could do it. ” He is a Hanshin fan who fills the stands. He is a good thrower while receiving the line of sight on the mound. He took his breath on his back for the fans and slowly lifted him to the bench each time.
Raise the gear to the pinch and screw down the batter. He dominated the game with an intimidating pitch.
In the 6th inning, 2nd base, the slider that was sweetly entered into Oyama was carried to the front from the count 2-2, and the equilibrium was broken. He subsequently missed Itoi and struck out, but was sent a pinch hitter in the attack immediately afterwards and dropped out. He couldn’t win in the sanctuary with 4 hits and 1 run in the 6th inning. I suffered my third loss this season.
The team lost four consecutive games due to the lack of striking. It was the first game of a painful interleague game.
