◆Nippon Life Interleague Series 2026 Yakult vs. Nippon-Ham (June 6th, Jingu Stadium)

A rare incident occurred where a run was overturned. In the bottom of the fourth inning, with Nippon-Ham leading 1-0, and two outs and runners on first and second base, Yakult threw a wild pitch, allowing the runner on second, Castro, to score. Manager Ikeyama requested a review of the safe call, but the call stood.

However, manager Ikeyama requested another review. He asked whether Hirosawa's pitch had entered the dead ball area between backstop and the roof of the first base dugout. As a result, the ball was deemed dead, and Castro was given one base as a "safe advance," returning to third base, and the run was nullified. The game resumed with two outs and runners on second and third, but hitter Yamazaki flied out to center field, preventing any further runs from being scored.
