◆ Pacific League Orix 4-5 Rakuten = 10 innings extra inning = (29th, Kyocera D Osaka)
Rakuten won the game after extra inning innings, delivering the first win to manager Miki, who took over after a five-year absence. Soyama, who started for the second game in a row as second batter doble, contributed by hitting his first long hit as a pro, a double.
As the ball reached the right wall, Muneyama made it to second base with ease. With one out in the third inning, Muneyama didn't miss Kuri's breaking ball high and on the outside, doble down the right field line. Then, Ogo hit a triple through right-center field, scoring his first professional run. "Today, I thought my swing at breaking ball was not as bad in terms of timing," he said, proud of the swing that went exactly as he had planned.
He caught the opposing pitcher 's "decisive pitch." In his first at-bat, he hit a low breaking ball and hit a fly ball to right field. "They often try to make me swing at difficult low pitches. I just need to be patient," he said. In his second at-bat, he missed the third and fourth low pitches and swatted at the fifth pitch, which was high. "Each pitcher has their own characteristics. I think it's important to judge that right away." He made adjustments with each at-bat and got results.
With two outs in the second inning, Muneyama recorded his first professional error when throw to bounce bounced short stop. "There's always a reason for my mistake. I just have to practice more," he reflected, but he didn't dwell on it and made a comeback with his first long hit in the next at-bat. Despite his first win of the season, Muneyama looked ahead, saying, "I'll keep my concentration and do my best to win in the end." He will continue to improve as he faces top-level pitcher.
