The second game of the 2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific League Final Stage took place on October 16th, with Fukuoka Softbank win 3-0. We'll be introducing players from both teams who performed "incredibly well," or "paranai" for short, in today's game.

[Fukuoka Softbank] Yuki Yanagita hits a game-deciding shot

I want to win the championship at once with a winning streak Fukuoka Softbank. Starter Kohei Arihara pitcher closer to runs in the 6th inning with a persistent pitch, but was forced to struggle with only 2 hit until the 7th inning before the opponent's starter Ren Fukushima pitcher, and it was the pitcher game following the first game. However, in the bottom of the eighth, a chance came with a infield hit by the leadoff hitter, Hotaka Yamakawa.

The person who came to bat at the plate with one out on first and second base was Yuki Yanagita player, who has led the team as a main force for many years and has won many championships and led Japan to the first place. Here, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham is replaced by Kenta Uehara pitcher. The first pitch missed low and the ball went low, and the second pitch was a foul to make it count 1-1. And on the third pitch, when the ball was thrown into the outside corner, the batted ball was sucked into the left stand.

The person who hit it also commented, "Adrenaline MAX!" With one shot that shook off the heavy atmosphere, the game was decided. I hope that he will be able to play an active role in future battles to achieve the crown of Japan's best, which he did not reach last year.

[Hokkaido Nippon-Ham] His first double-digit strike out! Ren Fukushima pitcher

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham, who lost the first game, sent Ren Fukushima pitcher, a fourth-year high school graduate, to the starting pitch for the second game. After hitting the first inning with a three-way strikeout, he completely sealed the first round of the opponent's batting line. In the bottom of the fourth, he allowed hit of the day with doble, but all three outs were empty struck out They ended the first half with just 2 hit no walk pitch.

In the bottom of the 6th inning, he closer to runs, and in the bottom of the 7th, he pushed the leading Akira Nakamura player with a fastball of over 150km/h and swung struck out, followed by Taisei Makihara player, Kenta Imamiya He made full use of his sharp breaking ball from the players to take away the swing and made it struck out three times in a row. He showed impressive pitching with 2 hit 1 Walk 10 strike out until the 7th inning.

At the end of the 7th inning, he threw 116 pitches, but went to mound in the bottom of the 8th. However, when he left the mound with one out on first and second base, Kenta Uehara pitcher, who was behind him, took a shot and finally allowed the first run. As a result, the end was regrettable, but in this match, which he wanted to avoid at all costs, he showed an impressive performance with his first double-digit strike out in one game.
