Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Saitama Seibu Lions Open Game (5th, ES CON FIELD)

Saitama Seibu Lions 's Shinya Hasegawa showed great performance in running, hitting and defense.

First, some great defense. In the bottom of the second inning, with two outs and no runner on base, Yushin Shimizu hit a ball to right field, where Hasegawa was playing. The ball was a little closer to center fielder field, but Shimizu ran straight to where it landed and dove to grab it.

In his next at-bat in the top of the third inning, he walked and reached Walk. In his third at-bat in the top of the fifth inning, he hit a sharp ball that bounced off the third baseman's glove for a doble, and then stolen base during Manaya Nishikawa 's at-bat. He wants to continue to make an impact in order to survive the fierce competition.
