◆Pre-season Rakuten Eagles and Nippon-Ham (12th, Shizuoka)
Manager Hajime Miki made a successful request and Home Run was called foul.
With one out in the seventh inning and trailing by one run, Nishikawa hit the first pitch from Ehara into the stands near the right field pole. Applause rang out and it looked like Home Run, but manager Hajime Miki immediately requested a review. A video review was conducted and the call was overturned, resulting in a foul.
