▼ Comment from Dai Makihara ▼
" cutter was the one who hit it. In a good momentum for the first goal, I was able to actively swing. Anyway, I'm glad it turned out to be fair. home run was unexpected, but in the end, I was able to support Tito (Moinelo pitcher), who was making his season debut, with a big extra run, which was great."
