This was a reversal of the previous day's game with the Tigers coming out on top. Nohmi pitched and was much more secure with good backup from Kubota, Kobayashi and Fujikawa. The backup was so good in fact that BayStars couldn't get on the board at all. Even so the 6-0 score line wasn't secured until the ninth when Tigers were able to pick up four runs in that innings. Till then it was fairly tight. Arai went four from five and Murton hit a lead off home run in the first.
