◆ Pacific League League: Lotte vs. Seibu Lions (April 4th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

Lotte's Ryusei Ogawa infielder (28) started the game starting line-up batting seventh and playing second base. In the third inning, with Lotte leading 3–2, he hit his first two-run home run of the season into the right-field stands off starting pitcher Taira Seibu Lions with two outs and a runner on first base.

This was his second Home Run, the first since the game against Seibu on August 25, 2022 (at ZOZO Seibu Lions Stadium). "It was a fastball. I was able to connect with it perfectly with my swing. It was perfect!" he said proudly.
