The only run of the game was scored in the second. Tyrone Woods singled, Norihiro Nakamura (the series MVP) doubled Woods to third and Ryosuke Hirata hit a sacrifice fly to score Woods.
The Fighters, who had won the Japan Series last year, finished the five game series with a team batting average of .147. The Dragons didn't hit well, but well enough, batting .228 for the series.
Impressive. It seems to me that most perfectos are also complete games, but the Dragons had one guy go 8 IP, 86 pitches, and a 13 pitch save. Has there ever been a perfect game in the MLB thrown by multiple pitchers?
I shall turn his bobblehead to face me today.
Who lifts a pitcher doing that (one run game or no)? And they say they beat pitchers into the ground in Japan.
Is something else going on here?
