Orix extra inning Seibu Nippon-Ham In the 10th inning, Kuruta hit a solo shot over the right field wall for his second of the season. The fifth-year player outfielder who replaced Nishikawa, who was struck off the roster that day due to a left ankle injury, made his presence felt in the lineup with his second consecutive arch and first 4 hit in his professional career. In pitching, starter Miyagi made a game of it with 2 runs in the 7th inning, and after the ace left-hander, in his 6th year and first appearance outside Okinawa, set the tone, Yamaoka, Iwasaki, and Machado then had an runs relayless game.
Manager Kishida said, "There were a lot of things that happened... Miyagi pitched tenaciously. Kita also played well. I think everyone is doing a good job." He was pleased with the two wins in Okinawa. He then explained the scene that caused a stir in the stadium in his own words.
Saiki came up mound in the 10th inning and pitch practiced. But the ballpark's electric board showed Machado's name. Saiki stopped pitch practicing and pulled up, and Machado rushed to mound. The conductor said, "It's my mistake now. My head was turned to Machado on its own (laughs)," and revealed that it was a miscommunication to umpire. Despite the sudden appearance, the three guardians were able to get the ball out of his hands. Machado did a good job closer and I'm sorry about that. I felt sorry for Machado, because he pitched one more time with his heart lifted, even though he had lost his mind the first time. I'm sorry to Saiki, too.
Regarding Perdomo, who left the game without throwing a single pitch in the eighth inning, he emphasized, "I just had a little accident with my fingertip. It's not that serious." From the 4th, they will play three consecutive games against Lotte at Hotto Kobe, the second card of the season.
