◆ Open match between The Giants and Lotte (22nd, Tokyo Dome)
On the 22nd, Lotte outfielder Kyota Fujiwara appeared as a substitute in the game against The Giants (Tokyo Dome). In his first at-bat in the seventh inning with one out and no runner on base, he hit a running Home Run run to right-center field off The Giants' fifth pitcher, left-hander Baldonado, which was his first home run of the exhibition season.
The Giants' Cabbage jumped for the fly ball to right center field, but couldn't reach it, and the ball rolled to the right wall. While The Giants' relay play was in disarray, Fujiwara aimed for home plate without slowing down, and finally made a head slide for inside-the-park home run.
