◆ Pacific League Seibu Lions 1-5 Nippon-Ham (28th, Belluna Dome)

Seibu Lions suffered a come-from-behind loss to Nippon-Ham, resulting in their second consecutive series loss.

Nevin scored the first run in the first inning, but that was the only run they managed to score. In the third, fifth, and seventh innings, they also had runner in scoring position, but the subsequent batters failed to capitalize. Manager Nishiguchi was critical, saying, "The batting lineup is a bit sluggish right now. We have to do something to turn things around."

Starting on the 30th, they will face Softbank Hawks in a three-game series, now just one game behind. The manager shifted his focus, saying, "We want to do our best to overcome this challenge."
