◇Saitama Seibu vs. Hanshin Tigers "Japan Life SEPA Exchange Match 2025" Round 1 (10th, Belluna Dome)

Saitama Seibu 's Manaya Nishikawa prevented a runs in a diving catch.

Trailing by two runs in the top of the fourth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, Takumi Nakano hit a low ball to left-center field. center fielder Nishikawa, who was defending from his fixed position, made a good catch of the batted ball while jumping into the field. If he had missed, he would not have been able to escape the runs, so it was a big play to get out of the pinch.

Nishikawa turns 26 today. The team is in a tough situation, having lost four games in a row, but as the Lions' leadoff man, he wants to be active in the run, offense and defense.
