Fighters won over Haws by 3-2 - the climax series.

  In the first game of the Pacific League Climax Series final round, Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters defeated Fukuoka Soft Bank Hawks by the score of 2-1. The winning pitcher was Yoshikawa. In the top of the 7th inning, Fighters allowed 2 runs for Hawks, but in the bottom of the inning, Itoi hit a two-run home run, and pinch hitter Nioka hit a timely hit and Fighters came from behind. If Fighters win two more games, they will advance to the Japan Series. In the Central league, Nagoya Chunichi Dragons won over Tokyo Ymiuri Giants by 3-1.
  It was mostly cloudy with scattered rain. I went out for a walk in the morning.
