Maximum tension: “The gum that was chewing out of its mouth”
★Hero Interview
– How did you feel when you decided on the match?
It's my first time in my life, so it feels really good.
-What kind of feeling is it with the opportunity?
I was thinking that if I did work backwards, the bases would turn with one out and one out and the bases would come, but I thought it might come, but I never really thought that the bases would come with one out and one out and the bases would be loaded, so I thought baseball was scary.
– The ball hits out into the outfield
I got so excited that I was on my way to the bases of first base, the gum that I had been chewing came out of my mouth.
I've collected it thoroughly.
-First walk-off hit
I often watched Goritsugu's goodbye, and I thought it would definitely feel good, but it was amazing.

“It would be great if you could support me like this.”
-Towards the future
It's still going on, so I hope I can ride it.
-After this, there will be five consecutive games and six consecutive games.
I think it was a really good start to win this way at the beginning of the week. There will be a match tomorrow so please come.
Also, pineapple goods will be on sale starting today, and I've been seeing a few of them, but there are also T-shirts like this (with a yellow background with Mizutani's illustration printed on them). It would be great if you could support me like this.
-Now, please call us as usual

Until I was a student, I had almost no connection to baseball, but in my first year of junior high school, I was taken to a game against the Giants' Hanshin at Korakuen Stadium and dropped my wallet. I had a bitter experience of a woman from Ena City, Gifu Prefecture, delivering it to the Kanda police station, and collecting a wallet containing about 2,000 yen from Mito to Tokyo, spending more than twice the transportation costs.
