◆ Pacific League: Orix vs Seibu (16th at Kyocera Dome)

Seibu Lions infielder Nevin hit the long-awaited first home run of the season in his 60th at-bat.

He started as the third batter and first baseman. With the score at 1-0 and two outs in the third inning, he swung at Soya's 147 km/h fastball and the ball flew steadily into the left field stands. It was a solo Home Run that added a valuable point. As he rounded first base, he was sure the ball would go in the stands, so he slowed down and leisurely circled the Diamond Gate. Also, when the offense and defense RBI, he responded to the cheers from the Lions in the left field stands by taking off his hat, holding his glove under his arm, and bowing deeply, just like when he scored an RBI.
