◆2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific Final Stage Game 1: Softbank 2x-Nippon-Ham = 10 innings extra inning = (15th, Mizuho PayPay Dome)

Nippon-Ham lost Game 1 in a 10th-extra inning walk-off loss. Softbank had a one-win advantage, so this was their second loss. With the score tied at 1-1, Shoma Kanemura, who pitched in the 10th inning, found himself in a pinch with the bases loaded loaded and one out, and allowed a single to left field by Yamakawa.

The team had struggled against Softbank starter Moinelo this season, with a record of 1 win and 4 losses. To defeat their arch-rival, manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo organized his batting lineup with a plan to counter this, starting Yuma Imagawa, who was registered that day, as the fifth batter and left fielder, and Yuya Shindo who has played in 13 games this season, as the eighth batter and catcher. The manager said, “We have about four different strategies that can shut them down,” but they didn’t work, and the team was closer scoreless until the seventh inning, which had an impact.

With the score tied at 0-0 in the seventh inning, Seigi Tanaka, who took over from Kota Tatsu, who had kept the score at runs, allowed a solo home run to Nomura, the first batter, to left-center field.However, in the eighth inning with one out, Reyes hit a solo home run over the right field fence to tie the game and send it into extra inning innings.
