He scooped up a 122 km/ change-up from Softbank Hawks 's Yu Maeda and sent it to the left field stands for an estimated 114 meters. "With bases loaded, I went to the plate consciously trying not to hit a ground ball. It was a perfect result." He capitalized on the opportunity created by Mizuno's single to right field, Gunji's infield hit Walk and Reyes's walk, using his impressive power to score.

The team faced Softbank Hawks after suffering a franchise-worst seven consecutive losses to start the season. However, they got off to a promising start as manager Shinjo aims to become the seventh person in the team's history to achieve 300 career wins.
