In the 7th inning, Yama Prefecture also hit a solo shot over the left. In addition, he was in a pinch, and was told to be replaced after giving Tamiya and Reyes consecutive Walk from third base with two outs. The Hikaru Kimura who relieved was hit by sweep doble, and Uezawa was 6 runs. He threw 10 strike out pitches, the most of the season, but it was a frustrating mound.

During the regular season, he faced his former team, where he played until 2011, only once, losing on May 1st. He was unable to take the mound in a direct confrontation at a crucial point in the championship race, and said, “I really wanted to pitch. There are many teammates who played with me, so I’m personally looking forward to it,” but he was unable to get revenge in the big game.
