◆ Pacific League League: Lotte vs. Nippon-Ham (15th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)
The match was interrupted due to an unexpected accident.
In the first inning, with the Marines having scored the first run and still having a runner on second base with no outs, Lotte's Teraji hit a ground ball to second base off Nippon-Ham 's starting pitcher Kato Takashi. The broken bat struck home-base umpire Fukaya directly. After speaking with Lotte's trainers, the home-base umpire went to the dugout to receive treatment for his injured right arm. The game was suspended during this time.
After the break, home-base umpire Fukaya was replaced. Makita umpire, who was in charge of first base umpire, served as the home-base umpire.
umpire Fukaya had also been injured and had to leave the game on April 3rd when a foul ball hit his left hand while he was serving home-base umpire in Seibu Lions-Rakuten Eagles game.
