◆ Pacific League Rakuten 1-4 Orix (11th, Rakuten Mobile)

starting line-up Rui Muneyama, the No. 1 pick in the draft who entered the game for the first time as a shortstop in the No. 7 spot, made his first professional sacrifice fly with one out in the sixth inning and trailing by four runs. He wasn't convinced by his first RBI in four games, saying, "I feel like I didn't catch the ball because it flew at an angle where I could have hit it long." With two outs and bases loaded in the first inning, defense dived for a hit that looked like it was going to go through the center fielder catch. He immediately sent to second base to shut down runner first base and did not allow a run. "It was good that I was able to get a solid out without being stiff, as I always do in situations where I couldn't make mistakes," he said. The game was lost, and the team lost four in a row. In the next game, he will save the team with a single shot that leads to win.
