◆2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific Final Stage Game 5: Softbank 1-7 Nippon-Ham (19th, Mizuho PayPay Dome)
Nippon-Ham, which is on the verge of overtaking the league, will have pitcher Kota Tatsu start in Game 6 on the 20th.
The right-hander started in the first game on the 15th, pitching six innings, allowing six hit and no runs. He threw 93 pitches and will be pitching after four days, but he said with a serious expression, "I was preparing for when my chance to pitch again came around, so I feel like 'here it comes.'"
The opposing starting pitcher was Moinelo, who pitched against him in Game 1. His team's batting line-up had been closer scoreless with just five hit and seven struck out through the seventh inning, and Moinelo vowed, "I don't think they'll be able to score any runs easily. I want to pitch in a way that doesn't allow a single run, no matter how many pitches I have to throw."
