The “Hatsukaichi City Women’s Baseball Town Festival” was held, and Hiroshima Carp players, women’s baseball players, and Carp alumni excited the “Women’s Baseball Town.”

In the morning, Carp catcher Takanori Ishihara and pitcher Shohei Mori will be in attendance to liven up the venue with talk shows and baseball lessons.

Then, in the afternoon, there was an exhibition game between the Hatsukaichi City Women’s Baseball Selection Team and the Carp OB team. This match is “hot”.

In the early stages, Minami Ohara (Hatsukaichi Sun Blaze) of the Hatsukaichi City Women’s Baseball selection showed outstanding pitching. He threw a powerful ball into the corner and kept Carp OB scoreless until the fourth inning.

In the 5th inning, trailing by 2 points, the Carp’s OB team, led by manager Sohachi Anniya, started to catch up with a timely hit by Kaisei Sone, the No. 1 hitter who has decided to continue playing as a member of Samuti, an adult baseball team, and Sone again in the 6th inning. This time, he will demonstrate his full potential by hitting a home run with the bases loaded.

On the Carp OB team, the oldest player on the team, Masato Kai, who was 42 years old and was drafted in 4th place in 2000, had 4 hits and excited the stands with his batting sense.

And there was a great game in the back of the final 7th inning… Sho Yamaguchi, who still throws a fastball of nearly 150km/h, is fouled by Tamaki Muramatsu (Hatsukaichi Sun Blaze) of the Hatsukaichi Women’s Baseball Selections, and on the 9th pitch he holds on.

She carries it in front of right field and shows off her top-class skills in women’s baseball.

The match was 9-3, with the Carp OB team winning.
