◆2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific Final Stage Game 6 Softbank vs. Nippon-Ham (20th, Mizuho PayPay Dome)
Nippon-Ham-Ham catcher Yuya Gunji hit a timely doble tie the game. With one out and a runner on second base in the fourth inning, just after the team had fallen behind by one run, he reacted to a 142 km/ cutter thrown inside by Moinelo. He deflected line drive down the left field line. "I hit cutter. We're going to win!!!" he said with determination.
Nippon-Ham has bounced back from three straight losses (giving them a one-win advantage over Softbank) with three straight wins, and is aiming to advance to the Japan Series for the first time in nine years since 2016, when they became the first team in history to win four straight games after three straight losses and become the Japan Series champions.
