A pair of veteran pitchers briefly turned back the clock.

Seibu Lions hurler Fumiya Nishiguchi said it was, "old guy power." Chunichi Dragons pitcher Masahiro Yamamoto simply didn't know what to say.

Call it what you want, but in an era where seasoned veterans ring in at about 24 years old (the age of sixth-year Lions ace Hideaki Wakui), the two old guys in the room scored one for the senior circuit last week.
