Shoko's triple that changed the game, sparking a come-from-behind home run - Asian Professional Baseball

No. 9 Shoko changed the tide with her bat and feet. 0-1 three times. He swung the curve ball as hard as he could, and the sharp ball hit the center fielder's head. Using his characteristic quick feet, he slid head first to third base. The stands erupt in excitement as the team finally gets its first hit. Encouraged by this atmosphere, Masaki hit a two-run shot to left-center field, turning the game around.

Japan's batting lineup struggled with South Korea's Kim Jin-wook's fastball. In the second inning, consecutive walks and a sacrifice hit put him on second and third base with one out, but successive strikeouts by Hasegawa and Kojima squandered the opportunity. In the top of the third inning, a solo hit by No. 4 Han Dong-hee allowed the team to take the lead, so Zhuangzi's hit was a big hit, as it triggered a come-from-behind home run.

A new hero who has become a regular at Softbank, which has been ranked No. 1 in Japan for two years in a row, and has become a regular player this season along with Masaki. Shoko was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the Climax Series (CS) and Outstanding Player in the Japan Series, and said, ``The fact that I was able to continue playing in short-term games for the first time and get results will give me confidence going forward.'' He is also playing confidently for Samurai Japan.
