◆ Pacific League League: Lotte vs. Seibu Lions (August 1st, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

At ZOZO Marine Stadium, where the Lotte-Seibu Lions game was being held, strong winds of 9 meters per second were blowing at 6 p.m. when the game started, and at one point during the game, the wind speed was displayed as 18 meters per second.

The wind was particularly strong, causing the players' uniforms to flap around during defense, prompting home-base umpire to call timeouts frequently. Lotte's starting pitcher, Koshichiro Hiroike, had his cap blown off several times after pitch. He appeared to be struggling with the strong winds.

On September 4, 2018, during a game against Softbank Hawks (at ZOZO Marine Stadium), the game was canceled due to strong winds after starting line-up had been announced.

On social media, many posts express concern about the strong winds, with comments such as "The wind is too strong at Marine Stadium," "The carp streamers look like they're about to be torn off and blown away," and "It looks like the wind will be strong again today."
