On the 14th, Seibu Lions win Lotte 7-0 in their game at Belluna Dome.

On this day, Kona Takahashi, who was scheduled to start, had to skip the game due to lower back stiffness. Taishi Mameda stepped in as an emergency replacement for his first professional start and closer three scoreless runs, giving his team pitch.

Tomotaka Sakaguchi, who appeared as a commentator on CS Fuji TV ONE's "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on the 14th, praised Mameda's pitching, saying, "It was a pitching performance that gave the team momentum. In terms of content, his fastball was sharp, he was swinging his arm well from the first inning, and the height of breaking ball was also good. He pitched a pitch that was almost too good to be true."
