In the 10th inning of the game against the Chunichi on the 11th, with two outs and runners on first and third, Toshiya Sato (left) hit a walk-off to right field and received a rousing ovation.

On the 11th, Lotte defeated Chunichi extra inning walk-off 10 innings. For the first time in this season's interleague play, teams from the same league (Pacific League) win in all six games on the same day. This season's interleague play record is 53 wins, 30 losses, and 4 draws, securing a winning record for the fourth consecutive year with 21 games remaining. This season, the strength of the Pacific League stands out again.

The 12 teams of the Central and Pacific Leagues will play the same game in the last game (12~14), but if all six teams mark win on all of those days at least once, it will tie for the most games in 2006 and 2025 (both in the Pacific League). Also, if Pacific League wins all six matches on the 12th, it will be the first time in interleague history that two consecutive days in the same league have won all matches.
