Professional baseball team Hiroshima held a practice match against DeNA. It was the first time for two left-handed pitchers, pitcher Taichi Taka, and pitcher Kazuki Takita, to pitch in an overseas game.
Taka became the second pitcher from the 4th inning, and gave a walk to Keita Sano, a senior from Koryo High School, who was at the top of the pitch. Coach Takahiro Arai said, 'The players showed off well in the actual competition'
