◆パ・リーグ　日本ハム―ソフトバンク（１５日・エスコンフィールド）

Nippon-Ham 's infielder Yuki Nomura delivered a go-ahead RBI single, showing his determination.

In the third inning, with the score tied and one out with runners on first and second, he hit a go-ahead doble double down the left field line off Softbank Hawks 's starting pitcher Stewart. "I hit cutter. I just hit it without thinking." He roared on second base, and manager Shinjo in the dugout applauded him.

In the game against the Softbank Hawks (Escon) on the 14th, Nomura recorded back-to-back struck out in his first two at-bats with runners in scoring position. When he came up to bat in the sixth inning with no outs and bases loaded, pinch hitter Hosokawa was sent in to replace him.
