◇ Tohoku Rakuten Eagles vs Saitama Seibu Lions 19th Round (23rd, Rakuten Eagles Mobile Saikyo Park Miyagi)

​Makkascar from Tohoku Rakuten Eagles hit the opening goal.

In the bottom of the second inning, with the score tied 0-0, McCuscar took the leadoff spot to bat. The opposing starter was Sou Sato pitcher, who was facing off against him for the first time, but after count was thrown 2-1, he swung a ball through the fastball outside the field, resulting in his 19th solo home run that flew into the right field stands.

McCuscar scored the opening goal for the team, their first in four matches. Can he continue to support the team, who are currently on a three-game losing streak and the starter Tatsuki Koja pitcher, who have not been blessed with wins since May 16?

◇ Comment from Player McCuscar
"The one who hit was fastball. I thought it worked out after a little effort. I'm glad we were able to score first." (Smile)
