◇ Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Fukuoka Softbank 14th Round (16th, ES CON FIELD)

​Fukuoka Softbank Yuki Yanagita player hit his 11th solo home run to tie the game.

In the bottom of the fifth, Taiki Narama hit his fourth solo home run to take the lead, and in the top of the sixth, with one out and runner no pitchers, he entered his third at-bat. On the second pitch thrown by opposing starter Hiromi Ito pitcher, he pulled the cutter inside and hit a powerful ball that flew into the right field bullpen to score the game-tying homer.

The 37-year-old veteran, who recorded double-digit Home Run for the 11th time on July 7 Orix Buffaloes, scored his first home run in seven games. In the final year of his seven-year contract this season, can he lead the team to a third consecutive championship?

◇ Comment from Yanagida
"The one I hit was fork. I imagined Lotte's Polanco's swing and was able to hit exactly as I imagined. Anyway, I'm glad the home run was in good shape. This is exactly 847 (Hachiyon Nana)!"
