Pacific League: Seibu 3-2 Nippon-Ham (27th, Belluna Dome)
Nippon-Ham lost to Seibu by one point, widening the gap with the league leader, Softbank to one game. Looking back on the game, which was plagued by accidents such as a sudden power outage with no outs in the ninth inning, Nippon-Ham-Ham manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo said, “I thought the power outage would swing the tide to The Fighters. It was like The Lions’ fire was extinguished.”
Looking back on the two consecutive away games against fifth-place Seibu Lions, in which they were unable to build up any lead, he said with a serious expression, “The Lions were far superior. We lost because of lack of skill. From this point on, it doesn’t matter if we switch gears or not. We have to win, regardless of the opponent.”
