Tigers Suffer 3-0 Home Defeat
Hiromi Ito, who finished 4th in the JCL in ERA with 3.31 last year, never let the Tigers get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his forkball, to pitch the Carp to a win, 3-0. Ito picked up the win for HT, going 5 innings. He gave up no runs on 2 hits. He now sports a record of 2-0. HA, at 3-11, is off to a poor start in 2025.

One pivotal at-bat came in the bottom of the fourth with two out. With the bases loaded and the Tigers trailing 3-0, Hiromi Ito needed to make a quality pitch. He threw a full count fastball to retire Koji Chikamoto, who flied out.
