The 17th game between Orix Buffaloes and Hanshin Tigers will be held at Sugimotoshoji Buffaloes Stadium Maishima on June 19th at 1:00 PM.
[Season Series Record] Orix Buffaloes (Western League 2nd place) vs. Hanshin Tigers (Western League 4th place): 7 wins, 8 losses, 1 draw
Orix Buffaloes should keep an eye on Sota Kawano. In the game against Fukuoka Softbank on the 17th, he came in as defense in the field and hit a timely doble in the top of the 10th extra inning. The following day, the 18th, he started starting line-up and hit triple that led to the team's first run. Can he continue to impress with his limited playing opportunities and earn a spot on the main roster in his third year as a professional?
