Kaz Ishii of Seibu struck out 13 Nippon Ham batters as the Lions moved closer to a Japan Series berth with a 9-4 win in Game 4 of their Pacific League "Climax Series." The Lions lead the series 3-2 because of a one-game advantage they received going into the series.
Seibu can win the series with a win Wednesday at home (all games in the series are home games for Seibu) or with a tie (games tied after 12 innings are halted even in the postseason and not replayed.)
The Lions who have been a success on the field for most of their history, are still not much of one at the box office as a little over 18,000 attended the game.
