◆ Seibu Lions Pacific League: Seibu vs. Lotte (16th, Belluna Dome)

Seibu Lions took the lead against their nemesis, Mori, with a two-run homer by outfielder Alexander Canario his 10th of the season.

It was a perfect hit that center fielder gave up chasing. In the first inning, with two outs and a runner on first, Canario took a full swing at Mori's 145 km/h fastball, saying he "was able to make a perfect swing," and the ball traced a beautiful parabola before disappearing over the center field scoreboard.

This was his 10th home run of the season, a two-run shot that gave his team the lead. The team had faced opposing starting Home Run Mori five times this season and lost all of them. This home run gave them momentum as they aim to finally overcome him.
