◆ Although he was closer to just two hit last week, he had 10 hit today. "There were a lot of easy pitches, but I was able to hit them without missing them."

On the 30th, Softbank Hawks win Orix Buffaloes 6-3. The batting lineup managed 10 hit off opposing starting pitcher Ryuhei Sotani, who had closer to just two hit last week.

On the Fuji TV ONE program "Pro baseball News 2026" aired on the 30th, MC Tsutomu Iwamoto said, "I had the impression that they had a tough time against Soya last time, but can we take this as the batting lineup getting their revenge?" Commentator Shohei Tateyama analyzed the reasons for the victory, saying, "The batting lineup has seven left-handed hitter, and those left-handed hitter have gotten nine hit by the third inning. In particular, the third batter, Kensuke Kondo, the fourth batter, Ryoya Kurihara, and the fifth batter, Yuki Yanagita, have been pulling Soya's strong pitches and pitches with big break. In the midst of all that, there is a player like the seventh batter, Akira Kawase (who had two hit and two RBI that day), so the batting lineup is really connected. There were a lot of easy pitches, but I think the fact that they didn't miss them and hit them is what led to their win."
