Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Chiba Lotte, 16th game (14th, ES CON FIELD)

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters player Reyes hit his 23rd home run, a two-run shot, right after scoring the first run in the first inning.

In the first inning, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Ryota Isobata walked and stole second and third Walk, putting them at third with one out, and then Yuki Nomura hit a timely hit to score the first run. With one out and a runner on first, Reyes came up to bat. With count at 3-1, he hit a high, outside fastball from starting pitcher Tokito Kawamura straight to the right, sending Home Run flying over bullpen in the right-field stands for a home run.

Reyes has been performing somewhat poorly in his last five games, with 3 RBI 18 At Bat and 1 hit for a batting average of .167. However, in the last game, he hit Home Run in the bottom of the 8th inning, recording his 98th hit of the season, surpassing hit total from last year. With his second consecutive Home Run, he hopes to continue his form as the team’s main batter.
