◆2025 Persol Climax Series first baseman First Stage Game 1 Nippon-Ham vs. Orix (11th, Escon F)

Nippon-Ham took the lead in the second inning.

First up, No. 5 Gunji hit a 157 km/h fastball from Orix starter Yamashita, hitting doble that hit the right wall. Next up, Tamiya executed a sacrifice bunt to put a runner on third with one out. Next up, Mannami, with one ball and two strike, caught fork, but despite losing his balance, he hit it well to the left front, scoring Gunji from third base. After hitting the ball, Mannami roared and pumped his fist as he ran to first base. Manager Shinjo, who was sitting on the bench, also pumped his fist in celebration.

Next up was Nomura, the eighth batter, who hit a fly ball to second base, and Mannami, who had already started running, was unable to return to first base, resulting in a double play.
