The last open sen (March 29) game produced a victory for the Tigers. It was a game in which batters scattered hits around like mad with very little to show for it. Buffaloes had 8 hits, Tigers had 9 and the score was 2-1 to Tigers. Tigers scored in their first innings with a timely hit to Toritani. This was followed by a scoring hit by Katsuragi in the fourth. The score remained quiet until the eighth when Gotoh drove a run in.
Tigers starting pitcher was Shimoyanagi who was a lot better this time. He was followed after three innings by Fujikawa who was very smooth. Fukuhara pitched four innings next and gave up the run.
