Nippon-Ham Fighters outfielder Chusei Mannami (25) hit his sixth home run of the season, a solo shot off Yagi in the fifth inning with one out and the score 5-8, putting him at the top of the league in home runs. He sent a 149 km/h fastball on the outside corner to right field on a 2-2 count. "I'm glad I was able to counterattack early in the game before it settled down," he said. Despite the rain, the hit had a ball speed of 166 km/h and traveled 110 meters.

In the third inning, Narama hit his second home run of the season, a two-run shot, and with Manami's homer, the team's Home Run reached 29 in the 16th game of the season. The momentum of this historic, super-heavyweight batting lineup shows no signs of slowing down.
