Hiroshi Hirao continued an amazing two-game stretch with four RBIs and pitcher Takayuki Kishi picked up where he left off earlier in the series to help the Seibu Lions stave off elimination with a 4-1 win in Game 6 of the Japan Series on Saturday night in front of 44,749 fans at Tokyo Dome.
"I think it was not only me, but our whole team played relaxed tonight," Hirao said.
