Kondo’s comment
I hit cutter. He put runner in scoring position, so I went to bat to make the most of the opportunity. Everyone is in good shape, and I think our awareness of the need to connect is taking a good shape. With Moinello playing well pitch, I am glad that we were able to score the first goal, which was the key point of the game. The Fighters I would like to continue to support them so that they can win again in the next two games.
