I hit a straight ball. It's been a while since I've hit a starting line-up, but I went into the game trying to do what I've been working on in practice without being conscious of the result. I told Mr. Kurihara and my seniors that I was going to give them my first RBI today, and I am glad that I was able to hit a timely hit that added a big run.
