◆ Seibu Lions Pacific League: Seibu vs. Orix Buffaloes (31st, Belluna Dome)

Orix Buffaloes 's starting pitcher, Naruki Teranishi, had a scary moment. In the second inning, the leadoff batter, cleanup hitter Nevin, hit a ball that struck him directly in the left hamstring area. He was escorted off the field by a trainer and was able to walk to the dugout on his own.

He received treatment and resumed pitch on mound three minutes later. Orix Buffaloes fans in the right-field stands chanted, "Go, Teranishi!"
