The team won the game in extra time, while it was thrilling. The game ended with a walk-off match at 0-0, which made it even more thrilling. The Hanshin Tigers and No. 3 Morishita Shota (25) smiled broadly at the beginning of the game. They garnered their first walk-off victory of this season under the leadership of Fujikawa Kyuji. It is the first time in 10 years that they have won the game in extra time, and a whopping 29 years that they have won the game in extra time.메이저놀이터

Saturday's home game against Yokohama BayStars was held in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, rather than at Koshien Stadium on the home turf. This is the venue that visitors visit every year. A crowd of 34,434 spectators watched Hanshin win.

A tight pitching battle ensued.

First, Hanshin ace Hiroto Saiki held the ball until the seventh inning with one out, allowing six hits and no run. His ball control was slightly shaky beyond the fifth inning. He allowed two walks in the top of the sixth inning. His walk brought about a risk of losing a point, but he managed to pull it off. He sent out leadoff hitter Trevor Bauer and first hitter Masayuki Kawahara to four pitches in the seventh inning. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, he threw a fly ball to the center field and handed over the mound to the bullpen.

Yokohama starter Bauer pitched better. Through the eighth inning, he had four hits and no run. He threw 118 pitches, striking out 12. He recorded the most strikeouts in a game. He struck out all three of his outcounts in the second and fourth innings. He struck out five to seven times in the bottom of the second inning after a double by Teruaki Sato. Takumu Nakano, the last batter in the eighth inning, also struck out.

In the 10th inning of extra time, both teams stepped down side by side with three outs. Hanshin left-hander Iwasada Yuta finished the top of the 11th inning with three batters. Then came the batter's time.

In the bottom of the 11th inning, pinch hitter Kento Itohara hit a heavy hit. Koji Chikamoto hit a double to center field. With no outs and runners on second and third bases, the Yokohama bench moved. As expected, he used the bases loaded. Hanshin No. 2 Nakano went out to intentional four pitches. With no outs and bases loaded, Morishita drew a walk after a full-count match with the changed pitcher Hayate. The eighth fastball was a right-handed batter bar

Fell into the outside. Was going 0 for 3 and laughed at the end.

Morisita had 33 RBIs through Sunday. She ranks second in RBIs in the Central League. She narrowed the gap to one with Sato, who ranks first, her senior in the team. She has eight finishers in this season, the best in both leagues. Four of them came from games where Saiki started. She seems to be an adventurer.

Hanshin put in six pitchers on the day. Following starting pitcher Saiki, five bullpen pitchers took the mound and shut down four ⅔ innings without a hit. He created a bridge to win the game. "I feel sorry for Bauer," Yokohama manager Daisuke Miura said.
