In the 10th inning of extra inning, Seibu Lions 's outfielder An-Ko Lin-Ke, in his first year in Japan, hit a walk-off off home run to right field, his first of the season.

Seibu Lions tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning, extra inning by one run, and in the bottom of the tenth inning with one out, An-Ko Lin hit a dramatic home run off Lotte's longstop. Belluna Dome erupted in excitement, and Seibu successfully won their second consecutive series. Manager Nishiguchi Fumiya expressed his joy at win, but also his apologies to pitcher Kaima Taira for not being able to provide more run support.

The main Q&A with manager Nishiguchi after the game is as follows:

—This is our first walk-off win of the season.

"Well, I'm happy that we managed to catch up and win in this way after struggling to get hits. I really wanted to get the win while Taira was still playing well."

—Pitcher Taira pitcher well, throwing 118 pitches over 7 innings and striking out 6 strike out. This extends his earned run streak to inning.

"His performance might not have been quite as good as in the first two games, but still, he pitched very well, and ERA is zero so far, which I think is truly amazing."

—In the third and fourth innings, he allowed doble to the leadoff batter, but did not runs.

"He really didn't give up any runs. I think that was pitch that showed Taira's determination."

—The relief pitchers were solid, and 60% of Kaiino's pitch were slider.

"He's become more of breaking ball pitcher lately, so I think that's good."

—The batting lineup managed only one hit no runs through the eighth inning.

"I really wanted to get a hit while Taira was doing his best, and score some runs, but I was getting a little impatient because I couldn't break through his defense."

—In the 9th inning, Genda hit the game-tying single.

"That's right. Right at the very end, he really delivered that one hit. That allowed us to catch up. And that led to this win. It was a very important hit."

—Lin An-Ko Lin hit his first home run since coming to Japan.

"That was a fantastic home run. The moment he hit it, he said he thought it might hit wall, but it really did reach the stands. It was a truly amazing hit."

—Kishi and Hasegawa, whose main positions are outfield, made some great plays playing first baseman base.

"They were making some really great plays. Hasegawa's defense in the 10th inning was also very significant, and I think that's what ultimately led to their victory."

—Now you've won two consecutive series, looking ahead to the next one.

"I want to work hard so that we can have a winning record again."
