◆ Pacific League League: Lotte vs. Nippon-Ham (15th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

On the 15th, Lotte held a JRA-sponsored game against Nippon-Ham (at ZOZO Marine Stadium) called "JRA Nakayama Racecourse presents Satsuki Sho Night Game," and JRA-affiliated jockey Kosei Miura (36) appeared at first baseman pitch ceremony.

Miura, wearing jersey number 16 with the word 'KOSEI' on his back, pitch said, "number I had the number 16 from last year's Sprinters Stakes (riding Win Carnelian) when he won. It was a first baseman pitch with a lot of spectators, so I was really nervous. Nakayama Racecourse is also in Chiba Prefecture, the same as The Marines, so I hope we can help energize Chiba together," he said.
