Tigers Sunk by Carp
The HA Tigers got a sterling performance from pitcher Kodai Senga, but the HT Carp still prevailed, 6-4. Senga threw 5.2 innings allowing 3 runs. HT reliever Kota Nakagawa picked up the win to move to 1-0. Tomohito Sakai suffered the loss. Reira Fujii sewed up the save, his 1st.

Shogo Sakakura, who finished 2nd in the JCL in batting average with .283 in 2023, helped out the HT cause in the bottom of the seventh inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the catcher went 1-4 with a double and a walk.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Sakakura. "But I like how we're playing right now."

With their winning streak at 4, the Carp have raced to a strong start this season.
