◆2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific Final Stage Game 6 Softbank 2-1 Nippon-Ham (20th, Mizuho PayPay Dome)
Nippon-Ham, who had been on the brink of defeat and had won three straight games, were aiming for a historic comeback to advance to the Japan Series, but lost to the league champion Softbank. Starting pitcher Kota Tatsu, who pitched after only four days of rest, fought well, giving up only two runs (one earned) in 5 2/3 innings, but their batting line-up, which had been performing well up until that point, was sluggish, scoring only one run against Moinelo. They fell just short.
Manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo, who is set to continue in his position for a fifth season next year, commented after the game, "It was an incredibly good final, and an incredibly good season. Softbank, who topped the season, are going to the Japan Series. The Japan Series is between the two first-place teams, so I don't think we should go. But we'll be even stronger next year. We'll win by a landslide and prepare to go to the Japan Series."
