◆2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific Final Stage Game 5 Softbank 1-7 Nippon-Ham (19th, Mizuho PayPay Dome)
The final showdown has finally arrived. After pitching well in Game 1, with six runs innings, Nippon-Ham Ham's Tatsuya said, "I don't want the game to be so close until the final game," hoping for a winning streak from Game 2 onwards, but his chance to start again came in the final Game 6. "I feel like it's finally here." The right-hander warmed up before the game by playing catch and other exercises. He emphasized that pitching with only four days off, which is not part of the season, would be no problem.
Ito, who pitched well in the crucial third game, allowing no runs in eight innings and turning the tide, will also be on standby in bullpen. Surrounded by reporters in the corridor after the game, he said, "I'm not saying we should tighten our helmet straps after winning, but this is really the last game, so I want to stay focused, prepare well, and fight."
The ace, who showed impressive relief performances on major stages such as the Olympics and the WBC, nodded and said, "If I'm told to go, I can pitch as far as I want. I think those who are persistent will win." The team will return to ESCON with all of its pitcher mobilized.
