Struggling April - May come they will? (５月になれば彼らは？)

Start was good, but good pitchers without any batters' support cannot keep it.

But April final game against strong Tigers gave us some hope after 7 losing streak - First win of rookie Yoshimura, good come-back of Kotaro, 2RBI of Murakami including rare sacrifice fly. Okumura, the mood-maker came back and gave much motivation to players and fans as well.

Now we are 13W-11L-1D and in the 4th position, and DeNA is incredibly strong. May come Swallows batters will come back, as I believe.

開幕直後は調子よかったが、打撃の支援なく投手の頑張りだけではもちませんでした。

しかし、７連敗後の４月最後の阪神戦で希望の光が見えたかなと。- ルーキー吉村初勝利、コータローの復活、そして珍しく犠牲フライを打った村神様の２打点。ムードメーカー奥村の一軍復帰も選手とファンに勇気を与えています。

現在、13勝11敗1分けで4位、上にはアホみたいに強いDeNA。５月になればスワローズ打撃陣が盛り返すと信じています。
