Carp, Lions finished tied in Tokorozawa

The Hiroshima Carp managed to squeeze across a run, but they couldn’t squeeze a victory in Tokorozawa, Saitama, in Friday night’s lone game.
Hiroshima’s Eiishin Soyogi’s squeeze scored Akihiro Higashide, who had tripled with one out in the ninth inning, but Seibu’s Hiroyuki Nakajima stroked his ninth homer in the bottom of the inning, and the teams played to a 1-1, 12-inning tie.
Rookie Kazuhisa Makita went 10 innings for Seibu, allowing just four hits, while walking one and fanning two but go a no-decision. Carp starter Kenta Maeda, the reigning Sawamura Award winner, had arguably his best start but departed after working eight scoreless frames.
The draw left the Pacific League with a 59-41-8 advantage over the Central League in interleague play.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
