I went to watch the clash between the Lions and the Buffaloes, a crucial battle at the top of the Pacific League standings, at the weekend.

The Lions’ starter was pitcher Sō Satō, who allowed just one run and pitched into the fifth inning. The leadoff batter drove in the opening run; he certainly isn’t afraid to swing from the very first pitch! Hasegawa also contributed an RBI, following up on his home run the previous day ✨ There was some excellent relay fielding as well, and the Lions snapped their six-game losing streak against Buffaloes!

I also cast my votes for the All-Star Game!
