◆ Western League Orix 1-5 Hiroshima (21st, Sugimoto Shoji BS)

Orix 's second-round draft pick, right-handed pitcher Naruki Teranishi (Nippon Sport Science University), started the game and pitched 4 1/3 innings, giving up 6 hit, 1 Walk, and 4 runs (2 earned), while striking out 3 batters before leaving strike out.

In the fourth inning, with neither team scoring, Tanaka, the first batter, Walk, and then Sato's sacrifice bunt bunt and Uchida's single to center field put the team in a pinch with runners on first and third and one out. Nakata then hit a single to center field, giving the team the lead.

In the 0-1 5th inning, after allowing back-to-back hits to Watanabe and Kubo with no outs, Nabara was hit by a pitch to left with one out to bases loaded make it 0-1. After Tanaka gave up a single to right, pitcher he was told to take over. Teranishi was replaced after that, and he was given 4 runs for the day as Murazai allowed two runners to come home during a friendly blunder.

After the game, he said, "I wanted to throw it out there," reflecting on his exit in the middle of the fifth inning. Since he was a perfect pitch until the third round, he said, "It was a challenge for me to be able to perform in the middle of the game, not just in the early stages, and I had to be pitcher so that my opponent could closer in the second and third rounds batting order as well as in the second and third rounds."

Even so, in the third inning, he broke Shimizu's bat with a 145 kg straight ball, and the output of the ball itself was visibly improved compared to the Miyazaki camp. "I was a little bit open [at pitch times], so closer it helped me control my fastball better. It's the basics of pitcher, so it was good to be able to review that," he said.

In the Doosan game (SOKKEN) at the Miyazaki Baseball Games on the 1st, he gave up 3 hit 4 runs in the first inning. Compared to that time, "My performance has improved. If I can overcome today's challenge next time, I think new challenges will come up, so I can always evolve," he said. The appeal of the right-handed pitcher, who has a top speed of 153 km/h, is that he can improve his level of reflection in a short period of time. He then set his sights even higher, saying, "I want to be recognized by the management and various other people and move up (to the first team)."
