◆Exhibition game: Nippon-Ham vs. Hanshin Tigers (23rd, Nago)

Nippon-Ham outfielder Haruki Nishikawa hit a solo home run over the right field fence, the team's first of the preseason.

Participated in the starting line-up in "No. 4 left field". In the first at-bat of the second inning, he fell to a swing struck out, but in the second at-bat without one out and runner in the fourth inning, he caught the breaking ball of Iwasada, the third runner of the Hanshin Tigers.

With the help of the wind, it was his first solo home run since returning to the team, reaching the right field grass seats. It was a one-hit wonder why the manager had placed him in the number four spot.
