◆ Pacific League League: Rakuten Eagles (19th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

At ZOZO Marine Stadium, where the Lotte-Rakuten Eagles game was being held, the Narashino High School brass band, known for their powerful and beautiful sound, made an appearance as part of the regional revitalization activity "ALL FOR CHIBA".

Before the game, they will perform at ground and join the The Marines cheerleading squad in cheering from a special performance area set up in the home outfield designated cheering section. The Lotte team includes Kazuya Fukuura, the second-team manager and an alumnus of the school, as well as Raito Ikeda infielder.

Ikeda interacted with the team members before the game. Although he wasn't in starting line-up, he said, "Hearing their greetings brought back memories of my high school days. If I get to play, I'll do my best. I think everyone will be happy if the team wins," vowing to perform well when he comes on as a substitute and to win the game.
