The Tohoku Rakuten Eagles had a game in their home in Sendai for the first time this season.

I watched a baseball game on TV between the Tohoku Rakuten and the Kobe Orix this afternoon. It was the first game for Rakuten to play in their home in Sendai which had severely been stricken by the earthquake and tsunami.The starter of Rakuten was Masahiro Tanaka,who graduated from Komazawa Tomakomai High School,and now he is an ace pitcher of the team.On the other hand,Orix's starter was Park Chan Ho, a former US Major Keague player from Korea. The game was a very exciting one,but in the 3rd inning,Rakuten gained 3 runs and Tanaka gave only 1 run in the 8th inning and completed the game.The capacity crowd of Sendai were overjoyed at the result.Another good news for the people in Sendai was the win of their soccer team,the Vegalta Sendai, over the Urawa Reds by the score of 1-0.It was really the "Sendai Day". Right after I knew the result of the soccer game,I sent an e-mail to Tomoko living in Sendai,and she returned her joyful message only a moment later.
