 | Hayagawa Pitches Gem against Niigata Tuesday, August 8th, 2034 Matsuyama Miracle hurler Yasukazu Hayagawa was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the Niigata Cardinals, shutting them out 4-0 on 5 hits.

Through 9 innings, Hayagawa tallied 4 strikeouts and allowed no walks.
"He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well," losing manager Freddie Lewis said. "Hayagawa has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that off-speed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off."
