Softbank Hawks pitcher Taiga Kamichatani was removed from the game after giving up two runs in six innings.

He said, "I want to start the first inning with the mindset of bullpen Day," and as promised, he started strong by recording two struck out. He showed a pitch in the second and third innings without any danger, but in the fourth inning, with one out and a runner on third, Gunji hit a timely single to left, runs. In the fifth inning, he gave up a solo run to Narama and gave up a total of two runs.

He didn't allow any further runs from there, and in the 7th inning, with the score tied 2-2, the offense scored 4 runs to take the lead. He left mound with the right to be winning pitcher.
