On March 22 at 1:30 p.m., an open game will be played at Vantelin Dome between Chunichi and Chiba Lotte Marines.

In this game Kazuya Ojima pitcher is scheduled to start. In his last appearance on March 15 at Saitama Seibu Lions, he pitched 4.2 innings on 92 pitches 7 hit 1 Walk 5 strike out 4 runs and his problems were still there pitch. Will he be able to correct it in this game and show a more consistent pitch performance?

On the batting line, we would like to focus on Soto, who started the game on the 21st as "No.5 first baseman" but fell to 3 struck out in both games when runner were on, and his batting average in the open game was .200. I would like to hit hit for the first time in three games in the final game of the open tournament.
