<p>Actress Yuriko Yoshitaka (34) appeared at the first pitch ceremony at ESCON Field Hokkaido (Kitahiroshima City). The ball, thrown from a southpaw, rolled &#8230;&#8230; to the batter&#8217;s feet. Yoshitaka held her head and smiled bitterly, showing her frustration. It was a heartwarming moment that happened this spring.</p>

<p> On May 30, gravure idol Risa Yukihira (28) appeared at the Seibu-Hanshin game at the Belluna Dome (Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture). It was Yukihira&#8217;s first time to throw out the first pitch, and she had practiced repeatedly right up to the pitch. She said, &#8220;I hardly touched the ball.</p>
<p><strong> I had hardly even touched the ball, so I practiced with a friend who had experience in baseball so that I could throw the ball as far and straight as possible. On the day of the game, I was learning how to throw from the team staff and managers until the very last minute.</strong></p>
<p> Despite all the practice, he was unable to throw as well as he would have liked on the day of the event.</p>
<p><strong> I was so focused on keeping my form clean that I couldn&#8217;t transmit any power to the ball at all,&#8221; he said. But I enjoyed it, thinking, &#8216;This is the first pitch? &#8216; I was able to enjoy it.&#8221; (Yukihira)</strong></p>
<p> Thanks to the girls who graced the stadium, the game became even more exciting.</p>
