First game in charge for Takahiro Ikeyama and he starts his managerial reign with a win as the unfavoured Swallows 😉 beat the Baystars 3-2 on the road with the rain absolutely pelting the players over the final 2-3 innings. We left a ton of men on base, but two big HR swings from Itoh and Santana settled things. Yoshmiura pitched 5.1 good innings and then the bullpen took over, finished by new Venezuelan closer Jose Quijada. Great start to the season.
