◆ Pacific League Seibu Lions 3-1 Lotte (19th, Maebashi)

Seibu Lions outfielder Shinya Hasegawa hit a go-ahead two-run homer, his fifth of the season.

In the fourth inning with no outs and a runner on first, the score was 1-1. The fourth pitch Jackson threw. He delivered a high fastball near the left field pole, hitting his fifth two-run homer of the season. After circling the diamond and surviving, he wore the 'Huge Necklace' around his neck on the hitter where he threw a Home Run in front of the bench, saying, 'As the pitch progressed, I think I was able to narrow down my pitches. With the wind, the ball stretched from the pole to left, so I watched it as if it was in the middle.'

He analyzed his momentum, which is approaching last year's six home runs, saying, "I feel like I'm able to properly compete with opposing pitcher. I think that's leading to good results."

After the game, the players were in high spirits backstage, celebrating win. "When we win, we all celebrate together. Lately, it's been like this, almost too loud. I think that's a good thing," he said happily.
