He continued his steps lightly. He went straight to the final stage of the Climax Series and beat the second-place Nippon Ham Fighters with three consecutive wins. I won perfectly without losing a single game. Nippon Ham coach Tsuyoshi Shinjo showed off his overwhelming power to the point where he said, `I felt a huge difference in power.'
Yokohama, on the other hand, has a pennant race winning rate of .507. It is the lowest winning rate among the six teams in both leagues that have reached the postseason and the lowest record among the teams that have ever advanced to the Japan Series.
However, the third-place team is shaking Japanese professional baseball. In the climax series, he beat the second-place Hanshin Tigers and even beat the first-place Yomiuri Giants. It won all two games against Hanshin in the first stage. After three consecutive wins, he won two consecutive games against the Yomiuri Giants, and won the game 3-2 in Game 6. Trailing 0-2, he produced a reversal drama. It humiliated the Yomiuri Giants, who ranked first in the league in four years.
Yokohama's Rebellion continues to the Japan Series.
The first and second games were held at Yokohama Stadium on the home turf of Yokohama. The away team, Softbank, took both games. They were completely defeated 3-5 and 3-6. SoftBank's 'One Two Punch' failed to target Gohei Arihara and Livan Moinello. It seemed that the series would end blandly as expected.
Games 3 to 5 at the Fukuoka Dome, the home of Softbank. A trend that no one expected has developed. Left-hander ace Kazuma Katsuki, who started in Game 3, pitched seven innings of one run. He won his first game 4-1 and won the second game on the 30th with a 5-0 victory. Three pitchers went out and blocked Softbank's strongest lineup with five hits and no runs.

He overwhelmed his opponent in the batting. Starting pitcher Andre Jackson blocked seven innings and two bullpen pitchers blocked the remaining two innings. Even the batters burst into tears. In the top of the fourth inning with a 1-0 lead, No. 3 Makishugo hit a three-run home run with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. Maki, a fourth-year professional captain, is the most likely batter to play in the Japanese Premier 12 national team for four times. He was sluggish with two hits in 17 at-bats until Game 4, but he hit a shot like a troubleshooter.
Yokohama collapsed the Softbank mound with 13 hits. All the starting batters got hits.
Softbank's slugger scored only one point in three games in Games 3 to 5. The sudden silence is unusual. In Game 5, the clean-up trio leading to Ryoya Kuri no. 3, Hotaka Yamakawa no. 4, and Kensuke Kondo no. 5 were hitless in 11 at-bats. This is a situation that no one expected.
Yokohama last won in 1998. Now, if you add one more win, you will lift the trophy for the first time in 26 years.
Only once has the league's third-place team been at the top of the Japan Series. In 2010, Chiba Lotte Marines beat No. 2 Seibu Lions and No. 1 Softbank for Jaffansi

Will Yokohama be able to complete the series. Games 6-7 will be played at home in Yokohama.
