The third round of the Japan Series, a professional baseball game, was held at Tokyo Dome tonight, and Yakult beat Orix 5-4.
With this, Yakult scored 2 wins and 1 loss.
Yakult starter Ogawa plays the starting role with 3 runs in the 6th inning
Yakult took a tie-breaking two-run home run immediately after starting pitcher Yasuhiro Ogawa turned around, but did not allow additional points and played the starting role with 3 runs in the 6th inning.
31-year-old pitcher Ogawa marked nine wins, the most in the team this season, but last month at the end of the regular season, he pitched two games and did not win seven goals.
Even in the climax series, there was no turn, and it was the starting mound while the condition was worrisome.
Under these circumstances, pitcher Ogawa pitched with a straight and changing ball, and once attacked the Pacific League's top hitter No. 3 Masataka Yoshida with a fastball for five consecutive balls. Strike out with a change-up of 120 kilometers.
I did not put out a runner once or twice, such as hitting home run king Yutaro Sugimoto with a change-up twice.
In the 3rd inning, a one-out bases loaded pinch was invited due to an error of an ally, but pitcher Tomohito Ito also said, "The condition is not bad. Pitching in the evaluation.
I recovered 4 times and 5 times and kept it to no goal.
6 times immediately after the ally reversed.
After hitting a two-base hit by the lead player Yoshida, Sugimoto caught a high straight and tied a home run.
I couldn't keep the lead because I was hit by the two people who had been holding down so far, but I didn't allow any additional points and played the starting role with 3 runs in the 6th inning.
Orix Sugimoto "If you are driven in, go in the opposite direction"
Orix allowed a reversal in the middle of the game.
No. 4, Yutaro Sugimoto struck a tie home run with the consciousness of "hit in the opposite direction after being driven", which led to the leap of this season, showing the presence of the main axis.
Sugimoto, who is in his sixth year, is 1 meter and 90 centimeters tall and weighs 104 kilograms.
There were nine home runs in the five years until last season when he couldn't settle in one army, but this season he marked 32 home runs.
He became the first home run king and became the mainstay of the team by hitting the final two-run home run in the climax series.
Until now, Sugimoto, who couldn't settle in the 1st army with a long hit, a strikeout, or a batting of one or eight, said, "Until now, even if I was driven in, I was swinging full swing in search of only home runs. I am conscious of the opposite direction from practice so that I can hit it tenaciously afterwards. "
This game was a scene of no-out second base in the 6th inning, which was led by 1 to 3 and 2 points.
It was the 5th ball since I was driven into a two-strike.
If you bounce back in the right direction without going against the straight on the out course, this area will cross the fence and a two-run home run will be tied.
"I was a little clogged up and I didn't expect to enter," Sugimoto said.
I practiced the batting that I always conscious of this season, "If you are driven in, do not shake strongly and go in the opposite direction", and showed the presence of the main axis with a single stroke.
