BayStars still struggled to score in this game as well despite Iwata having an off day. Unfortunately Tigers batting also had an off day and failed miserably to dent their rather mediocre opponent. These things happen though. Umeno did some good work to tag out the runner in the fifth but BayStars had the game sewn up by then. In fact the Tigers batting basically gave up and surrendered pathetically to Yamaguchi. It really was rather dismal to watch. Final score 3-1 BayStars but like the game before they were there for the taking. This time Tigers didn't do any taking.
