On August 8th, three farm team regular season games will be held, hosted by Pacific League League teams.

Ruan Ohtsuka is on a four-game hit streak. Keep an eye on Soshi Yoshino who had three hit in the previous game.

At The Fighters Kamagaya Stadium, the 14th game between Hokkaido Nippon-Ham and Tohoku Rakuten Eagles will be held starting at 1:00 PM.

[Season Series Record] Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (1st in the East) vs. Tohoku Rakuten Eagles (2nd in the East): 8 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham 's third-round draft pick, rookie Ruan Ohtsuka, is currently on a four-game hit. In his rookie year, he has had two chances to be promoted to the first team, and even hit three Home Run in June, but was removed from the roster on July 16th and has been gaining experience in the minor leagues ever since. Can he continue to impress both offensively and defensively?

On the opposing side, Tohoku Rakuten Eagles 's focus is on Soshi Yoshino. This season, he has a batting average of .111 in 7 games with the first team, but in the farm league, he has a batting average of .265 with 6 Home Run and 26 RBI in 60 games. In the previous game, he contributed with 3 hit and 1 stolen base. Furthermore, in the same matchup on July 11th, he hit a go-ahead 3-run homer, so there are high expectations for his performance in this game as well.

Can third-year player Shuna Hori further improve her performance from here on out?

The second game between Orix Buffaloes and the Tokyo Yakult will be held at Sugimotoshoji Buffaloes Stadium Maishima starting at 12:00.

[Season Series Record] Orix Buffaloes (West 2nd place) vs. Tokyo Yakult (East 4th place): 0 wins, 1 loss

Orix Buffaloes has high hopes for Shuna Hori. In his third year, Hori has played in 42 farm team games so far, with 37 At Bat 121 hit for a batting average of .306, but has not yet had the opportunity to play in the first team. In his last 6 games, he has 5 hit 19 At Bat-bats with 2 RBI. Can he improve his performance from here on out in order to earn his first call-up of the season?

Hiromi Oka, aiming for promotion, has recorded multiple hit in two consecutive games.

The ninth game of the series between Chiba Lotte Marines and The Giants will be held at Urayasu City Sports Park ball park starting at 4 PM.

[Season Series Record] Chiba Lotte Marines (3rd in the East) vs. The Giants (1st in the Central): 4 wins, 4 losses

Chiba Lotte Marines 's Hiromi Oka has recorded two hit in two consecutive games. So far this season, he has played in 40 farm team games, with 30 hit in 114 At Bat, for a batting average of .263. He made the opening day roster for the first team but was removed on May 30 due to a batting slump. He will be looking to maintain his good form as he aims for a return to the first team after three months.
