Tonight our hometown heroes, the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, defeated the Tokyo Giants by a score of 4 to 1 to sweep the Nippon Series in four consecutive games. In fact, they swept the same “giants” last year in the Nippon Series in four games and have won 12 consecutive Japan Series games, 16 straight Japan Series games at home, and have won their last 16 postseason games. Powerhouse! With this fourth consecutive Japan Series title, the Hawks have more than proven they are Japanese professional baseball’s living legends. Congratulations Fukuoka!
