On the 26th, Seibu Lions win Nippon-Ham 4-3 in their game at Belluna Dome. On the 26th, CS Fuji TV ONE's "Pro baseball News 2026" featured Wingenter, who came in as the third pitcher. Entering the game in the top of the 8th inning with the score tied, Wingenter pitched a good inning, throwing 9 pitches, strike out 1 batter, and retiring the side in order, not letting the momentum shift to the opposing team.

Commentator Akihiko Oya praised Wingenter’s performance that day on pitch, saying, “His ball had good movement, and fastball was powerful, too. Lately, Seibu Lions ’s bullpen has been a bit chaotic… So when he delivers a solid inning like this, it really settles the game down, doesn’t it?”
