"The nightmare won't clear up...". It was a game that made Central League fans sigh. [PHOTO] The eighth pitcher in history to win five crowns! Japan's strongest pitcher, Yoshinobu Yamamoto's best shots released at once! In the first match of the Japan Series, which started on November 20, Orix won the goodbye 4-3 against Yakult in an unexpected turn of events. It was the end of the curtain that foretold a fierce battle. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Yasunobu Okugawa were scoreless until the 5th inning, but Yakult took the lead in the 6th. In the 7th inning, Orix hit a pinch hitter and Moya tied the score, but in the 8th inning, Yakult No. 4 Munetaka Murakami seemed to have a 2-run win. However, in the ninth inning, Orix attacked Higgins and created a chance for the bases to be loaded with no outs, and Yuma So Yuma hit in front of the center in a timely manner to tie the score, and in the end, the lead batter, Masanao Yoshida, scored a come-from-behind victory. However, the worst first round for Yakult may have been called "as expected" in a sense. In fact, for the Central League team, the Pacific League home base is the darkest gate of all. Surprisingly, the Central League team has not won a victory in the Japan Series at the Pacific League stadium for eight years since the 6th game in 2013.・Round 6 of 2013: Rakuten 2-4 Giants 〇 (Kleenex Stadium Miyagi) ・Round 7 of 2013: 〇 Rakuten 3-0 Giants (Kleenex Stadium Miyagi) ・Round 3 of 2014: 〇Softbank 5-1 Hanshin (Yahoo!

Including the game on this day, there were 7 losses by 1 point and 6 goodbye losses, so there were many “disappointing” games. However, after all, the famous scenes that come to mind in the past few years of the Japan Series are Shohei Otani's goodbye hit (16th round), Haruki Nishikawa's goodbye bases loaded (16th round), Kenta Imamiya's God run (16th round). 2nd round in 2017), etc., are all performances woven by Pacific League players. If Orix wins the series as it is, the ninth attack of the day must also be handed down as a famous scene. Will Yakult be able to end the nightmare losing streak that the Central League continues to enjoy? Even if they lose, and even if they win 3 consecutive victories at home, what is waiting for them is the Pacific League home game again. Tomorrow's Round 2 may turn out to be the "big deal".
