◇Tohoku Rakuten vs Orix 8th Round (4th, Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi)

​Daisuke Nakashima players from Tohoku Rakuten led the batting line with 4 hit 5 RBI.

Participated in the starting line-up at "No. 9 and center fielder". First, in the bottom of the second inning, with runners on first and third with no outs, he hit an RBI single to center fielder. In his second at-bat, he retired in his third at-bat in the bottom of the fifth, with one out and bases loaded on a three-run RBI triple count 0-2 down sweep. In the bottom of the sixth, with two outs and the bases loaded, he hit an RBI doble to score his fifth RBI. In his fifth at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, he pulled a pitch from second base with two outs to end the inning hit
　
The 23-year-old, who is entering his second season at the club, made his mark last season as a rookie, appearing in 37 games. There are many outfield competitors such as Yuya Ogo and Ryosuke Tatsumi players, but I want to mass-produce hit and seize a fixed position.
