Kiyomiya hit the base in the middle of the 7th inning, but Ishii double-played.
■ Nippon-Ham 2-1 Orix (1st, Sapporo Dome)
Nippon-Ham Fighter Tsuyoshi Shinjo complained to Kotaro Kiyomiya infielder’s base running. At the end of the press conference after the game, he cut out himself and said, “After that, Ishii rolled in the end run and Kiyomiya stopped. You can hit that place. I want you to learn a little about baseball. That’s right. “
The big boss pointed out the 7 scenes of 2-1. From 1 death, Kiyomiya hits the base in the middle. Where he wanted additional points, the bench gave a hit-and-run sign from the first ball. Ishii desperately hit the bat, but the ball hit the front of the second baseman. It passed in front of Kiyomiya, which had started, and slowed down to stop for a moment. Kiyomiya was out and was transferred to first base and Ishii was also out.
“The meaning of hit-and-run is gone. It’s okay to crouch down and head-sliding. I don’t mind if I stop. That’s it.” In the end, he won, but the big boss couldn’t help pointing out because it was a play that could change the course.
