Ochoa, who won the World Series with the Anaheim Angels two years ago, is ready to help the Chunichi Dragons make new history by clinching their first Japan Series title in 50 years in Sunday's Game 6 at Nagoya Dome.

"Toward the end of the season you get tired, but when you enter a series like this it's like that little kid in you comes out," Ochoa said Saturday after Chunichi took a 3-2 lead with two straight victories on the road against the Seibu Lions.
