■ Giants-Chunichi (13th, Tokyo Dome)
Giants Sho Nakata infielder shot No. 3 and 2 runs this season in the China-Japan match held at Tokyo Dome on the 13th. He returned to the 1st army from the deregistration due to the slump and started in the 3rd game, “5th, 1st base”, and the moment he hit in the 4th at bat in the 8th inning, it was a hit. This is the first home run in 40 days since the bases loaded at the Hanshin Tigers (Tokyo Dome) on April 3.
In the 8th inning, Kazuma Okamoto was at bat on the first base. I caught the first ball of Chunichi and Yamamoto, a 148km straight that went high. The strong hit that he hit was to the left wing seat. Nakata also made a round of diamonds from a “confident walk”. With this one stroke, the giant widened the lead to 5-2, and the stand was very excited.
In this game, he recorded the first sacrifice bunt in his 15th year as a professional, sending a bunt on the first and second bases without death four times. He started in the 1521th game and 6245th at bat. He has been hit hard since the opening and was deregistered for the 1st Army on April 22nd. He returned from the 10th and finally showed his “likeness”.
