Hakuchoh Win to Tie Series with Kingyo
Nobuyuki Sasaki went the distance at Hakuchoh Park to drag the Niigata Hakuchoh back to parity with the Yamatokoriyama Kingyo. The right-handed Sasaki needed 116 pitches to get through the complete game effort, which the Hakuchoh won, 4-3. The clubs are now tied 2-2 in the best-of-7 series.

In the bottom of the seventh, Niigata left fielder Dacio Téllez hit a run-scoring single to right field. The clutch hit made it 4-3, Hakuchoh.

"It has been an incredible experience today," Sasaki said in the clubhouse following the game. "It's a short list of people who have started in the Japan Series at all, and an even shorter list who have done a good job of it."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Hakuchoh Park in Niigata.
