It's beginning to look like the Chunichi Dragons just will not be denied.
Pinch hitter Takahiro Donoue connected on a tiebreaking RBI single in the top of the 10th and closer Hitoki Iwase, with a helping hand from his defense, shut the door in the bottom half to give the Dragons a 5-4 victory over the Yomiuri Giants in Game 3 of the Central League Climax Series final stage on Friday night at Tokyo Dome.
The win gave the Dragons, who entered the series facing an automatic one-game disadvantage, a commanding 3-1 lead in the final stage showdown.
