Shohei Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 50 games in Saturday’s 4-3 defeat to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. He made the achievement suspenseful by not reaching base until the ninth inning with a two-out single off Rockies reliever Victor Vodnik.

However, the Japanese superstar was also part of a special moment before Saturday’s game. Following his pregame workout, Ohtani learned the story of a woman watching him nearby from a wheelchair.

Momoyo Nakamoto Kelley is a 100-year-old Japanese native who survived the bombing of Nagasaki in 1945. Currently a Salt Lake City resident, she traveled to Denver to see Ohtani, whom she called “the pride of Japan” in remarks to Chunichi Sports. Kelley said she watches Dodgers games every day to see the four-time MVP play.
