◆ Pacific League: Orix Buffaloes vs. Nippon-Ham (18th, Kyocera Dome Osaka)

Orix Buffaloes manager Mamoru Kishida successfully challenged a call in the fourth inning. With no outs and a runner on second base, Nippon-Ham 's Manami hit a deep fly ball near wall, which right fielder Kida made a jumping catch. The umpire initially gestured for safe. However, Kida then appealed that he had made a perfect catch, and the manager requested a review. The ruling was overturned.

Afterwards, Manager Kishida protested something to the base umpire together with Haru's first-team head coach. After about a minute, the team backed down, and since second baseman runner Reyes had tagged up to third, play resumed with one out and a runner on third.
