The 15th round of Hokkaido Nippon-Ham regular season between Hokkaido Nippon Eastern League and Saitama Seibu will be held at The Fighters Kamagaya Stadium from 1:00 p.m. on August 28th.
[This season’s results] Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (4th place) vs. Saitama Seibu (3rd place) 7 wins, 7 losses
Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters’ Yuma Imagawa is in good form with a batting average of .407. In the previous day’s game, he hit a tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, right after being overtaken, setting the tone for walk-off win. He has only played in 11 games for the first team this season. We hope he continues to impress in order to become a valuable asset to the team.
Saitama Seibu are expected to feature pitcher Natsuki Takeuchi and player Manaya Nishikawa who have been sidelined due to injury. This will be pitcher ‘s regular season since the 5th, and Nishikawa’s first since the 6th. The first team has struggled with a lack of scoring power, and the return of Nishikawa, who has been leading the batting lineup as the leadoff hitter this season, is eagerly awaited, but will he be able to return to full fitness?
