by Bob Timmermann

The Chunichi Dragons beat the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters 4-2 at the Nagoya Dome to win Game 1 of the 2006 Japan Series.

You can read Deanna Rubin's semi-live blogging recap of the game at her site, Seattle Marinerds.

Off to South Bend for me. Light a candle in the Grotto for me. It's going to be a long day for this UCLA fan.
