◆2025 Persol Climax Series first baseman First Stage Game 1 Nippon-Ham 2-0 Orix (11th, Escon F)
Pacific League Aiming for the top spot in Japan after coming from third place, Orix was already on the edge of a cliff. Yamashita, making his first start in his first postseason appearance, made the game 2 runs in six innings. The team’s batting lineup, which manager Mamoru Kishida had confidently assembled as “this year’s hitting team,” was silenced. The first inning saw two groundouts and a triple, the second inning saw two groundouts and a double, and the fourth inning saw Hirooka get a groundout bases loaded with two outs, but it was too much for Benrin, who came on strong, and got a groundout double play.
They have been in first baseman stage in 2008 and 2014, losing to Nippon-Ham both times, so their only option now is to win two games in a row.
