Why It Matters
Yang Daigang is a 39-year-old famous player living in Japan. This game is the last game of his career.
In the last game of his career, the 39-year-old famous Japanese player Yang Daigang served as the first center fielder in the starting pitch. He was looking forward to a successful conclusion in his most classic role. As a result, he hit a hit from Rhodes' second-place starting pitcher Nishino Warriors in the third inning. In the end, he even ran back the first run of both teams. With the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, he hit an infield hit with 2 RBIs, tying the score in one fell swoop.
"For me, the first bat and the middle hand symbolize my own goals and are also an honor." Yang Daigang said before the game that this role is of great significance and that he has invested a lot of emotion. "I feel very happy to be able to play this role in the last game."
After running to the familiar center field in the first inning, Yang Daigang knelt down on one foot and prayed. After Rhodes' second team formed a disguised 3-on-3 in the inning, he ran back to the dugout and smiled to accept the greetings of Rhodes' first base coach Kanashi Morozaki; at the leadoff seat in the first inning, Yang Daigang swung an empty bat and was struck out. He seemed a little annoyed, but after fighting to 2 good and 3 bad in the second inning, he hit a hit in right field, then escorted to second base with a sacrifice bunt, and then relied on a timely double of Sonobe Katata in the third bat to score the first run.
Rhodes' second army launched a counterattack in the 6th inning, scoring 3 runs on 3 hits in a single inning, taking a 3:1 lead. However, Niigata relied on an infield hit and two walks to load the bases with two outs in the bottom of the 6th inning. At this time, it was Yang Daigang's turn to attack. He hit an infield hit from the direction of third base, tying the score with one hit, and the audience cheered. Fans in the right field stands held up words such as "Thank you for moving us" and "Yangdai Steel Players, you have worked hard for 21 years", which became another moving scene.
Yangdai Steel accumulated 5 hits, 2 hits, 2 RBIs and 1 run. Niigata did not score in the 9th inning, and the two sides shook hands with each other at 3:3.
