◆ Pacific League: Nippon-Ham vs. Seibu Lions (11th, ES CON FIELD)
An accident occurred involving Seibu Lions outfielder Masayuki Kuwahara. In the fourth inning, with defense 0-4, he attempted a diving catch on a line drive drive hit to left-center field by Tamiya, but unfortunately missed catch (recorded as triple). He remained lying on the grass for some time afterward, unable to get up. After some time he stood up and continued playing, but was replaced by Nishikawa in the fifth defense. Concerns are being raised about the condition of this gutsy player, known for his aggressive and fearless play.
