Takashi Toritani and the Hanshin Tigers taught Yomiuri Giants fans a valuable lesson during their most recent meeting.
Baseball games end after 27 outs, not 25.
Dominated all night by a trio of Yomiuri Giants pitchers, the Tigers roared with one out in the ninth behind two-run homers by Toritani and Lin Wei-Ju, plus a solo shot from Ikuro Katsuragi to rally past the Central league-leading Giants 5-1 on Friday in front of 44,023 fans at Tokyo Dome.
