Open game Nippon-Ham and Lotte (7th, Escond)
Nippon-Ham Fighters' rookies made a big splash. On this day, as part of an event to introduce the new players, the rookies participated in a first-team game. catcher Kaito Fujimori (18), a fifth-round draft pick from Meitoku Gijuku High School, who started as the leadoff hitter and catcher, created a scoring opportunity in his first at-bat in the first inning with an infield hit to third base and a stolen base. On the defensive side, as catcher, he led starting pitcher Asari to a scoreless runs.
In the 3rd inning, Minato Handa infielder (18) = Nichidai Fujisawa =, who started the game at "No. 8, DH", hit a single to left, and from second and third with one out, No. 2 Hiroki Tsuneya infielder (22) = Hokkai-Gakuen University =, who was the first to be raised, hit a double triple to left center field. It was slider that hit it. It was a chance to score the first run, so I went to bat with a strong feeling. The moment I hit it, I thought it was on a long-hitting course, so I was happy. I have been a fan of The Fighters for a long time, so I am happy to be able to wear this uniform and play in ESCON. I was also happy to be able to do the Domile Pose. The next number 3, Kane Edokpolo outfielder (22) = Daiin University, scored the third run with a sacrifice fly inside the middle.
