Nagoya Dome
The answer would be one more game. Anxious Hawks fans were counting down the outs as the game went on at Nagoya Dome. Masahiro Sakumoto made the spot start for the Hawks as the Dragons sent Game 1 starter Noguchi to the mound. The Dragons got off to a good start in the first as Sakumoto walked in the first run of the game after two errors from Daiei, giving the Dragons their first run in 21 innings.
