◆ Seibu Lions Pacific League: Seibu vs. Lotte (16th, Belluna Dome)

Takeya Nakamura, who celebrated his 43rd birthday on the 15th and is in his 25th professional season, infielder, recorded his first RBI of the season on the 16th.

Batting sixth and hitting DH, he started for the first time in three games. In his third at-bat in the fifth inning with two outs and a runner on first in the fifth inning with a 4-run lead, he deflected Takano's 143 km/h fastball and hit a timely doble to right-center field. "I'm glad I hit it. Nevin, nice run!!" As the comment goes, first baseman runner Nevin made a powerful run to home plate.

Takeshi Nakamura joined Seibu Lions in the second round of the 2001 draft from Osaka Toin High School, and this season marks his 25th year as a hit. He joined the first team for the first time this season in the game against Softbank Hawks Hawks on August 7th (at Belluna Dome), and prior to that game, he had played in seven games with a batting average of .174 and four hits.
