SAPPORO — With the Chiba Lotte Marines threatening to take control of the series, the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters were looking for a good game out of starting pitcher Ryan Glynn. He responded with the game of his life.
Glynn came up big with seven shutout innings in the biggest game of the season to add an other chapter to what has been a strong season in the Fighters' 7-0 win in Game 3 of the second stage of the Pacific League Climax Series.
"Hands down the biggest game I've ever pitched in," Glynn said afterward. "When you're in a game like that you're at the apex, the top. It's competition and that is what us players live off. We hunger for that."
