Nippon-Ham infielder Kotaro Kiyomiya reflected on an error that nearly ended a record.
Hosono allowed a groundout hitter without runner two outs in the ninth inning when he was continuing no hitter and couldn't catch get a ground ball between first and second base. Immediately, the "E" light came on the scoreboard and the record remained unchanged, but he said, "I was so nervous. baseball I have never wished for an error like that in my life. Today is the first time.
Hosono missed the next Fujiwara and struck out to complete the feat. I'm so happy, I'm really happy. Thank you, Hosono. Hosono himself contributed with the bat, hitting two shots RBI and hitting back-to-back doubles with Reyes. But Hosono was so great that I forgot about him," he said with a smile.
