I missed the game as if to watch a difficult game to lose. He first scored five points in the top of the first inning and lost the game even after breaking the balance in the top of the 11th inning of extra time. The Yomiuri Giants, who had been aiming for the lower prize, ended the season in vain. It fell to two consecutive losses in the Yokohama BayStars and the Central League Climax Series (CS) First Stage (best of two games). Last year, he ranked first in the league and was caught by Yokohama in third place in the final stage (best-of-four wins, first-place win advantage in the league), but was completely defeated again this year.

Game 2 took place at Yokohama Stadium on the 12th. The Yomiuri Giants, who lost the first game, hit the drain. He saved hope with his bat on the edge of the cliff. It burst hot in the top of the first inning. Eleven batters drove in six hits, including two homers, to score five runs.

Number one, Sasaki??Ske. He hit a leadoff home run in the top of the first inning and added a hit in his second at-bat. No. 6 Nakayama Raito hit a three-run home run with two outs and runners on the first and third bases. He hit out at Yokohama starter Andre Jackson.




a successful head start. I had to go with the atmosphere, but I immediately missed the flow. At the bottom of the first inning, Yokohama's batters fired. With two home runs, he collapsed Yomiuri starter Shosei Dogo. No. 3 Keita Sano hit a two-run homer, and No. 7 Daiki Ishikami hit a tying three-run homer, 5-5. Jackson pitched one inning and went down, and Dogo was replaced after the third inning.

The starting pitcher left early and a tight game continued. Both teams ran the bullpen at full capacity and engaged in an all-out war. In the top of the 11th inning of extra time, when the score was 5-5, the balance was broken. 1사

With the bases loaded, Sasaki hit a timely hit. 6-5 Yomiuri Lead. However, Yomiuri failed to take advantage of the continued one-out full base opportunity. The failure to score additional points served as an excuse for the upset loss.

The drama began after two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning. No. 7 Ishikami went on an infield hit and managed to steal second base. No. 8 Hayashi Takema hit the equalizer. Pinch-hitter Ryoki Watarai created a chance to end the game with two outs and runners on the first and third bases with a right-handed hit. No. 1 Ebina Datsuo then solved it. A timely hit to get out of the shortstop and third base ended the blood-drying game.




Manager Abe Shinnosuke Yomiuri looked at the ground, and Miura Daisuke Yomiuri came out to the ground with a slight smile around his mouth. Miura previously announced that he would resign at the end of this season.

Yokohama fought Yomiuri fiercely until the end of the season and won second place. In the regular season, it was far behind the Yomiuri Giants with nine wins, one draw and 15 losses, but the postseason was different again. Yokohama started the fall baseball season in third place last year and reached the top of the Japan Series. This year, the DNA of autumn baseball was still alive. Now we go to the final stage against the Hanshin Tigers.
