Pacific League: Seibu vs. Softbank (27th, Belluna Dome)
Softbank, with just one win left to secure a consecutive league championship, started with Kohei Arihara, who had 12 wins so far. In the first inning, Nishikawa, the first batter, hit doble to right field, and with runners on first and third and no outs, Watanabe hit a RBI single to left field. With three consecutive hits, SoftBank was easily put in the lead.
The second-place Nippon-Ham took the lead with one point in the second inning. The conditions for the victory on the 27th were a loss to the softball team and a win by Nippon-Ham, but all other conditions, including a draw, were decided, and this was the only situation that would be put on hold.
