◆Preseason game: Lotte 4-5 Nippon-Ham (11th, ZOZO)

Nippon-Ham Ham pitcher Fukuya Yamazaki made his third start in the exhibition game, allowing only five hit and two runs in four innings.

It was his first time pitching since playing as the third batter and designated hitter in the game against Seibu on the 6th, but he showed no signs of fatigue as he threw sharp fastballs and breaking ball, and got through with just two runs, a two-run homer over the left field fence that Oka hit. "It went well, if you call it that. closer, but I was glad that I was able to get the foul with a straight pitch," he reflected.
