On the 26th, Seibu Lions win Nippon-Ham 4-3 in their game at Belluna Dome. In the bottom of the 9th inning, with the score tied, lead-off hitter Canario swung hard at a high fastball on the third pitch, sending the ball into the left field stands. His first-ever walk-off run ended the team's three-game losing streak.
On the 26th, on the broadcast of CS Fuji TV ONE's 'Pro baseball News 2026,' Canario, who took the podium as the hero that day, was featured. Canario performed well that day, hitting a single to left, a single to center, a fly out to right, a single to right, and a Home Run single to left, hit 5 At Bat 4. Akihiko Oya, who appeared as a commentator, commented, "It was a bit of a wavy feeling, and the line drive was probably flying so fast that he was on a line drive, and before I knew it, he was in the stands. Swinging boldly is scary in moments like this."
Commentator Takahiro Saeki also reflected, "He's back in the leadoff spot after a long time, and he's hitting to left, center fielder, and right field. It's quite difficult to hit the top of the ball like that and send it into the stands. As Mr. Oya said, it was like a line drive that was sucked into the stands. Kona Takahashi was also very happy."
The show's MC, Motonobu Tanishige, commented with a laugh, "Canario was doing well since the interleague games started, but then his performance dropped midway through. When I met with manager Nishiguchi, he said that Canario has been hitting with his head down recently, so he'll get him to look down when he hits. But (today) he was hitting with his head down..."
