◆パ・リーグ　ロッテ２―７日本ハム（８日・ＺＯＺＯマリン）

Fans were still cheering at left field, home run Lagoon, when Nippon-Ham Kengo Yoshida catcher (25) were sucked into the ball. With the score 6-2 in the seventh inning and one out, Sawada's first pitch, a 147 km/h fastball, was his second solo home run of the day, the eighth homer. Following Mannami's 17th three-run homer, the two consecutive homers were recorded: "I was planning to aim for slider until Manchu (Mannami) hit, but the moment Manchu hit, I switched to waiting straight and waiting." Nomura's 11th two-run homer in the game-winning game was also a total of four homers, and Manager Shinjo laughed, saying, "We have a sign saying 'home run Aim for it.' The three of them hit exactly as signed."

There was a courageous "stop." Yoshida had been hitting Home Run in abundance since being promoted on June 16, with 8 homers in 16 games, but after the game Rakuten Eagles on the 4th (Rakuten Eagles Mobile), he felt tightness in the front of his left leg. Although he is registered as catcher, the pain occurred in a place he had never experienced before, possibly due to fatigue from playing center defense, which he was not used to. "At first I thought, 'Why now?', but when I weighed the pros and cons, I told myself that it was something I had to say," and he was left out of starting line-up for the two games leading up to the game. Before the game, he had a final check with the manager and was encouraged with the words, "You're going to play today."

The team hit four home runs for a total of seven runs. After 83 games, Home Run reached a league-leading 110 home runs, surpassing the 2004 record of 178 home runs and now hitting at a pace of 190 home runs in a season. Nomura, the game-winning homer, went on a one-shot offensive that described 'home run can hit in team colors,' narrowly trailing second-place Seibu Lions by game and three ahead of leader Softbank Hawks. He chased the champion with a super-heavy lineup. (Haruki Kawakami)
