One day after a win that made the Japan Series an actual, well, series, the Yokohama BayStars were back on the field in Fukuoka on Friday night.

The odds of either of those things happening after the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks opened up a 3-0 lead in the Japan Series were probably pretty low. Then again, it's becoming harder by the day to be surprised at what Alex Ramirez's upstart BayStars accomplish this postseason.

On the eve of a Game 6 not many saw coming, both the BayStars and Hawks practiced on Friday at Yafuoku Dome.
