◆SMBC Japan Series 2025 Game 5 Hanshin Tigers vs Softbank (30th, Koshien)
Softbank gave up their second run in the fifth inning. Starting pitcher Arihara allowed a hit to the opposing left-hander Otake, who led off the inning, to center field, and then allowed Chikamoto to hit a single to right field, putting runners on first and second. Nakano then failed to bunt, and Morishita was forced to hit a fly ball to center field, somehow managing to get two outs.
With two outs and runners on first and second, Sato Teru faced the ball, and manager Kokubo replaced Arihara, who had thrown 82 pitches in four days, with left-hander Hernandez. However, with count at 1-2, the third pitch was hit to center field, allowing runner on second to score.
Despite their determined pitching rotation, the team was trailing by two points as the second half began.
