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 Seibu Lions offense's fierce offensive surge in the bottom of the 7th inning to tie the game. The leadoff batter got on base but hit into double play play. With two outs and no runner on Walk, consecutive hits and a walk loaded the bases with two bases loaded, and cleanup hitter Nevin hit a two-run single to tie the game. Commentator Takahiro Saeki said, "Ishii mishit a slightly high two-seam two seam fastball on the first pitch, resulting in double play play, and from there, the connection between Canario and Takizawa was crucial. Hasegawa also Walk, and that's when Nevin went on the offensive from the first pitch. It was a magnificent display of teamwork."
Commentator Akihiko Oya also praised the play, saying, "They managed to get back into the game with two outs and no runner on base. I thought the way the 1st and 2nd batters connected was excellent. Another thing was that the 3rd batter, Hasegawa, persevered and got the ball to Nevin, but Hasegawa had missed fastball in his previous at-bat, so I thought today wasn't going to be a good day for him... But he persevered for nine pitches, even getting hit by the ball twice, and still managed to draw Walk. That was very impressive."
