◇ Saitama Seibu Lions vs Fukuoka Softbank 15th Round (24th, Belluna Dome)

​Nevin of Saitama Seibu Lions hit his 15th solo home run, marking his third consecutive game.

In the first inning, the lineup retired three batters in order before the opposing starter Taiga Kamichatani pitcher. In the bottom of the second, Nevin, who came up to bat leading, swung the first pitch with a powerful swing at fastball that had gone high. The ball soared high and quickly flew into the left field stands, becoming the 15th solo home run to take the lead.

In the game against Hokkaido Nippon-Ham on the 22nd, Nevin hit walk-off home runs, marking his third consecutive Home Run game. Since June, he has struggled with a batting average in the low .200s, but is also preparing for his first All-Star appearance in Japan. Can he finish the first half on a good note with this momentum?

◇ Comment from Player Nevin
"I hit fastball. I was able to swing strongly from the very first pitch. I'll keep doing my best."
