◆Open game Orix vs DeNA (8th, Kyocera Dome Osaka)

Orix took the lead with two runs in the second inning against DeNA starter Bauer.

After Diaz hit a single to left in the top of the fifth, Ota's sacrifice fly in the sixth and a safe bunt to the pitcher in the seventh by Raita gave the team an bases loaded chance to get a runner on base with no outs. The next inning, No. 8 Benrin gave up a double double play to score the first run of the game.

With two outs and a runner on third base, Bauer made an unexpected balk, and the next batter was out, so the game went into the third inning with a score of 2-0.
