A sure shot! Kotaro Kiyomiya hits his 9th solo home run | Pacific League

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Saitama Seibu, 16th game (6th, ES CON FIELD)

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters’ Kotaro Kiyomiya hit his ninth solo home run.

With the score at 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning, with one out and no runner on base, Yuki Kiyomiya caught fastball from the opposing starting pitcher, Mitsunari Takahashi, that was a little high, and hit the ball to right field. He was sure of the hit the moment he hit it, and it went straight into the stands.

Although Kiyomiya Yuki struggled to improve immediately after the start of the season, he has steadily improved his performance in July, batting .301. He will be aiming to hit more Home Run to win the battle for first place against Fukuoka Softbank.
