The Chunichi Dragons evened the Japan Series at one win apiece with an 8-1 victory over the Nippon Ham Fighters at the Sapporo Dome.
The Fighters had just four hits and have only six in the first two games. Fernando Seguignol homered for Nippon Ham's only run. Byung Kyu Lee and Masahiko Morino hit two-run homers for the Dragons.
The series resumes Tuesday in Nagoya. Games 3, 4, and 5 will be played in the Central League champions park.
Nippon Ham won last year. Their long drought prior to that (1962) was mainly because the team was bad.
