Pacific League: Orix 4-2 Nippon-Ham (1st, Kyocera Dome)
Nippon-Ham Fighters suffered a come-from-behind walk-off loss in the ninth inning after a hectic seven-hour journey, with the plane they were scheduled to board being delayed twice and forced to change route. Manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo expressed regret, saying, “We had a lot of trouble today. I wanted our team to be able to win even on a day like this.”
The starter, Takashi Kato, was unaffected runs until the 8th inning. The left-hander was unaffected by his sloppy start the day before the game, and the commanding officer left him in charge in the ninth inning. I wanted him to hang in there. He was our lefty ace, so I was looking forward to seeing how he would pitch in the 9th inning. I was looking forward to seeing how he would pitch in the ninth inning. I think this made him think about it more, and he felt he would do something to get a hit next time. (There was no choice but to replace him.) I had no choice at all. pitcher I have high expectations for the left-hander’s future.
The team suffered two straight losses, widening the gap with the leader, Softbank, to one game. August started off challenging for Shinjo-Ham.
