◆ Pacific League Nippon-Ham 4-3 Rakuten Eagles (25th, ES CON FIELD)

Nippon-Ham won their third walk-off victory of the season, extending their winning streak. In the bottom of the ninth inning with one out and a runner on second base, Narama hit doble to center field to seal the win.

In the first inning, Mizuno, the leadoff batter, hit a 149 km/h fastball from Rakuten Eagles starter Shoji on the very first pitch, a solo home run to left field, his seventh of the season. "I was able to make a good swing from the first pitch," he said, giving his team an early lead with a home run on the first pitch of the first inning.

The starting pitcher was Takashi Kato, who was on an eight-game winning streak. In the second inning, consecutive hits by McCusker and Murabayashi put runners on first and third with no outs, and Asamura hit a sacrifice fly to left field to tie the game. Then, in the fourth inning, he gave up a solo home run to YG's Yasuda, his third of the season, allowing the opposing team to take the lead.

Nevertheless, in the 7th inning, the offense tied the game with sacrifice fly to center field by pinch doble Narama, following a double by Hosokawa. This erased the potential loss for Takashi Kato, who was pulled after 6 innings, having given up 4 hit 2 runs, and the winning streak continued into his next start.

In the eighth inning, the third pitcher, Son, gave up a run, but in the bottom of the inning, Kiyomiya Yuki hit sacrifice fly to tie the game again. Their tenacity in the late innings led to a dramatic victory.
