HA Picks Up Another L
The YT Swallows turned back the HA Tigers, 6-5, at Meiji Jingu Stadium. Ryusei Takeoka, in particular, had a fine performance. He went 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win went to Koki Moriya in relief, making him now 1-0. Hiroto Saiki took the loss for HA. With their winning streak at 4, the Swallows have raced to a strong start this season.

With YT leading 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth, Takeoka hit a slider from Hiroto Saiki for a 3-run home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Swallows ahead, 6-2.

Said losing manager Shigetoshi Hasegawa: "These are the grinding hard days that all good teams go through, and this is when we've got to stick together and believe in one another."
