Lotte lost a 0-3 zero game to Orix Buffaloes. The starter Kazuya Ojima pitched well pitch until the 5th inning, but Kotaro Kobayashi gave up a hit to left hit in the top of the 6th inning, Tomoya Mori gave up a timely hit doble to left center with one out, and Aito missed Ryoma Nishikawa 's next hit center fielder in front of him. The game ended as it did after three runs were scored in the inning due to a painful error.

On the April 4th broadcast of CS Fuji TV ONE's "Pro baseball News," the focus will be on Kazuya Ojima who made a strong return to the team after a month of adjustments in the minor leagues and delivered a great pitching performance.

Commentator Yosuke Hiraishi said, "I think it was good. The ball itself is pretty good, I think. So, if he can get a little more control over the power of his shots, I think it will get even better." He gave his strong endorsement for further improvement.
　
Unfortunately, instead of getting his first win he ended up being lose pitcher, and he lamented his bad luck, saying, "Today, there was a very painful mistake by my teammates, and that was a really big mistake."

Although he didn't rack up any wins, the left-hander's recovery, which saw him reach the required innings pitched for the fifth consecutive year, was encouraging news for the Marines.
