Shiomi's on base calls for a tie
Yakult brought in a draw at the last minute.
Yasutaka Shiomi, the key player in the victory on the night of the 22nd, called in a tie home run in the 9th inning in the second game on the night of the 23rd.
Shiomi, who is the team's lead-off man, is 29 years old and has been in his fifth year.
In the first game last night, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the ace of Orix, showed his performance with 3 hits and 1 RBI, including a home run.
Before the second game, Shiomi said, ``I did too well in the first game. was
Round 2 is upon us.
In the 3rd inning, right after scoring 2 points, Shiomi took the lead in the second at-bat, persistently carried a low changeup to the front of the center, and went to base.
With two outs, No. 4 Munetaka Murakami connected with a hit, and No. 5 Osuna, who had 3 hits and 3 RBIs yesterday, was hit, but was hit by a right fly and did not lead to a score.
In the 5th inning, which was considered to be a 3-point difference, he appeared again at the top.
He chose four-ball and got to base after his previous at-bat, but was unable to hit the second.
In the 7th inning, Shiomi got a hit with 2 outs, and was unable to get on base again.
Even so, in the 9th inning, when there was no time left, Jo Miyamoto hit a two-base hit, and Nakashiomi calmly chose a four-ball from a full count, and got on base four times in a row.
He expanded his chances with first base and second base, and then called in pinch hitter Souma Uchiyama's tying three-run.
Although the game ended in a draw after extra time, Shiomi's attitude of "getting to the base anyway" paid off in the final stages.
