◆ Pacific League Lotte 3-8 Orix = 10 innings extra inning = (18th, Zozo Marine)
Orix The team’s second straight win reduced the gap to 3.5 games behind the leader, Nippon-Ham Lotte. In the 10th inning of a 3-3 game, the 13th extra inning of the season, Tongu hit a final right sacrifice fly with no outs bases loaded. Nakagawa’s two doble runs, Wakatsuki’s timely triple run and Osato’s sacrifice fly run made it five runs in one inning.
Coach Kishida evaluated the attitude of first baseman runner Ota, who did not miss the opponent’s wild pitch at first base with no outs and advanced to second base. “Even though there were mistakes from the opponent, I was able to take advantage of them. Ota went with a one-bounce-go and went with great concentration. The flow came all at once here,” he narrowed his eyes.
Starting ace Miyagi left the mound in the 6th inning 7 hit 3 runs and 5 strike out. After the Lotte match on May 21 (Kyocera Dome Osaka), he was away from the white star in 7 consecutive games, but he made a game with 95 pitches. The commander nodded, saying, “It was good that he persevered and managed to come back without being overtaken.”
The team won the first of four straight games before the All-Star Game. The manager said, “It’s a big deal that we won the first game. From here on out, we’ll do our best again tomorrow.”
