◇ Fukuoka Softbank vs Tokyo Yakult Open Match (3rd, MIZUHO PayPay Dome)
Fukuoka Softbank 's Hikaru Kimura pitcher pitched two no-hit and runs pitches.
Kimura pitcher took the mound in the top of the 5th inning as the second runner. First of all, he took a swing struck out from the lead, Tatsuyo Takeoka, and then repelled the following hitter with a grounder and a struck out. In the top of the sixth inning of the second inning, he also appealed with a perfect pitch of 2 inning 4 strike out with two struck out and three outs.
Last season, he pitched in 13 games, ERA 1.02, and recorded his first professional save, making it a season that foreshadowed a leap forward. This season, I want to accumulate good results from early spring and establish myself in the first team.
