◆ Pacific League Rakuten vs. Lotte (13th, Rakuten Mobile)
Lotte Daito Yamamoto outfielder entered the starting line-up at No. 7 and left field. Trailing by two runs in the top of the third inning, Rakuten hit a solo shot into the left-field seats off starting right-hander Shoji.
The batting line, which had been in a slump after suffering shutout game losses in three consecutive games against Seibu on the 9th to 11th (Belluna D) for the first time in 62 years, had not scored a run in 32 inning. Yamamoto's home run, his first since the game against Nippon-Ham on April 16th (ZOZO), lit up the scoreboard with a "1".
