CS broadcaster GAORA SPORTS, which provides live coverage of all Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters home games, will broadcast the "Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs Chunichi" game on Saturday, June 13th, starting 30 minutes before the game begins.

This match, as the interleague play draws to a close, will feature double commentary from Shinya Tsuruoka, who supported the Fighters' golden era as a catcher and is now a familiar commentator, and Sho Nakata, who was once the immovable cleanup hitter for the Fighters, later played for the Giants and Dragons, and retired at the end of last season.

Shinya Tsuruoka & Sho Nakata

This season, the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters have maintained a win rate around .500, showing an up-and-down performance while possessing explosive potential. Their batting lineup has already surpassed 70 home runs, ranking first among all 12 teams. With their overwhelming destructive power, capable of hitting a home run from anywhere, they pose a threat to opposing teams.

How will the Fighters perform in front of Shinya Tsuruoka and Sho Nakata, who once fought together on the northern land and built numerous glories?

Sho Nakata, who played as the main slugger for the Fighters for many years and won the RBI title three times. Having played for the Chunichi Dragons, the opposing team, until last year, he understands both teams' conditions and strategies for tackling pitchers. He will join Shinya Tsuruoka, who once led the team as the "backbone of the defense," in a unique exchange, as seniors and juniors, to unravel the outlook for the second half of the season.

Don't miss this exclusive double commentary, possible only because these two shared intense battles together!
