Nippon-Ham outfielder Chusei Mannami hit a massive home run, and Shinjo's Nippon-Ham team scored an additional run.

In the fourth inning with one out and a 1-0 lead, he swung hard at a 117-kilometer curveball from Takeuchi that caught the middle of the plate, driving a solo home run into the upper left-field stands for his first of the series. He showed a confident walk the moment he hit it before starting a slow trot. It was a perfect strike with an exit velocity of 170 kilometers per hour and a distance of 122 meters.

The ball landed in the left-field stands where Seibu Lions fans gather. The home fans fell silent as the Nippon-Ham slugger, aiming for a comeback victory after starting with zero wins and one loss, launched an oversized arching home run.
