On 18 April, at 6 p.m., the fourth round match between Tohoku Rakuten and Chiba Lotte will be held on Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi.

【Head-to-head record】Tohoku Rakuten (4th) vs Chiba Lotte (5th) 2 wins, 1 loss, 0 draws

[Advance notice]
Tohoku Rakuten: Takahisa Hayakawa pitcher 3 games, 1 win, 1 loss, ERA 2.89
Chiba Lotte: Boss pitcher 2 games, 0 wins, 1 loss, ERA 7.00

Tohoku Rakuten starter Takahisa Hayakawa pitcher earned his first win of the season with a 2 hit 1 runs seventh inning, including a hit closer in the middle of the fifth inning against Chiba Lotte (April 4). In addition, Hayakawa pitcher started four games last season, going 3-0 with a ERA of 1.19. In this match, I would like to give the team on a winning streak with a good pitch like an ace who makes the most of their chemistry.

On the other hand, Chiba Lotte boss pitcher will start mound. In the last meeting (April 6), he was unable to stick to 94 pitches in 4 innings, 6 hit 3 runs, so will he be able to make a good pitch in this game? I would like to expect Daito Yamamoto players to bat. Yamamoto, a fifth-year player, was promoted for the first time this season on the 12th of this month after a dominant .365 batting average, 5 Home Run and 21 RBI in the second team. He scored his first professional RBI against Hokkaido Nippon-Ham on the 15th, and on the same card on the 16th, he helped stop the team's losing streak with a three-run opener.
