Yoshiyuki Kamei showed everyone why he won this year's new NPB award for dramatic home runs with a shot in the ninth inning of Game 5.
Two batters later, Yomiuri Giants captain Shinnosuke Abe did him one better.
Kamei sent the first pitch of the ninth flying into the seats in right field to tie the game and Abe hit a sayonara shot later in the inning to bring the Giants within a victory of the Japan Series title with a dramatic 3-2 win over the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters on Thursday at Tokyo Dome.
