On the 11th, the Lotte Marines win the Chunichi Dragons 3-2 at Zozo Marine Stadium. In the bottom of the 10th extra inning, with two outs and runners on first and third base, Toshiya Sato hit a game-winning RBI single. On the 11th, CS Fuji TV ONE's "Pro baseball News 2026" featured Sato, who hit the walk walk-off off single. Before stepping up to the plate, manager Saburo advised Sato, "This is your bad pattern (up until now). You let the first pitch fastball go by, and then you swing at the next ball. Go for it from the first pitch!" Determined to swing hard from first baseman strike, Sato stepped up to the plate and delivered. Commentator Yosuke Hiraishi said, "Sato is a difficult player to face in situations like this. I thought they might walk him since the next batter was Yamamoto... But he got a hit, so I hope this will be a turning point for him to improve further."

Commentator Akihiko Oya also praised him, saying, "He's very much like catcher. They often say to do one good deed a day, and he got a timely hit at a very opportune moment, so I think he can completely forget about his previous four at-bats. He did a great job."
