Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Saitama Seibu Lions Open Game (5th, ES CON FIELD)<\/p>\n
Saitama Seibu Lions ‘s Shinya Hasegawa<\/a> showed great performance in running, hitting and defense.<\/p>\n First, some great defense. In the bottom of the second inning, with two outs and no runner on base, Yushin Shimizu<\/a> hit a ball to right field, where Hasegawa was playing. The ball was a little closer to center fielder field, but Shimizu ran straight to where it landed and dove to grab it.<\/p>\n In his next at-bat in the top of the third inning, he walked and reached Walk. In his third at-bat in the top of the fifth inning, he hit a sharp ball that bounced off the third baseman’s glove for a doble, and then stolen base during Manaya Nishikawa<\/a> ‘s at-bat. He wants to continue to make an impact in order to survive the fierce competition.<\/p>\n Written by Kai Nagi Niwa<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Great defense, doble and stolen base!
