◇ Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Orix Game 11 (14th, ES CON FIELD)

Orix 's Yuma Tongu hit his sixth solo home run.

He started as the sixth first baseman. In the top of the ninth inning, with a three-run lead and two outs and no runner on base, he came up to bat for the fifth time. With count at 2-1, he hit cutter thrown by pitcher Taisei Yanagawa down the middle, sending the ball into the left field stands. His first hit since April 9th gave him an additional run to seal the win.

In March and April, Tonmiya hit five Home Run, including two in two consecutive games, but he hadn't hit a single one in over a month. Can he start producing more from here?
