◇ Comment from player Nomura (Third solo home run in the bottom of the 6th)
"The one I hit was two seam fastball. I just focused on creating chances and going all out. The result became a major home run and the best possible result. It's been a while since I tried the 'ozone layer destruction method.' (A metaphor for Nomura's signature gag, saying it was such a powerful blow) Anyway, I'll keep working hard to turn it into a win."

◇ Comment from Player Nomura (4th homer in the bottom of the 7th inning, 2-run homer)
"I was able to capture the slider perfectly. Just like in my previous at-bat, I decided to go all out and swing my own ball. home run, I was able to add points and contribute to a good development, which was great. Once again, it's the 'ozone layer 、、、.'"
