Rookie pitcher Haruhiro Hamaguchi took the ball in what might have been the biggest game of his life and delivered the performance of his life.

Because of that, the Yokohama BayStars are still alive in the Japan Series.

Hamaguchi no-hit one of Japan's top offenses for 7⅓ innings, Toshiro Miyazaki and Shuto Takajo homered and the BayStars got on the board in the Japan Series with a 6-0 win over the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks on Wednesday night in front of a crowd of 27,162 at Yokohama Stadium.
