Second-year pitcher Yudai Ono was asked to go into a stadium in which he'd only won once, to face a team that'd beaten him up in his last two outings all while trying to help the Chunichi Dragons avoid a 2-0 deficit in the Central League Climax Series final stage.
Piece of cake, right?
Ono rose to the challenge, his teammates provided just enough run support, and the Dragons swept into Tokyo Dome and beat the Yomiuri Giants 3-1 in Game 1 of their series.
