The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the tenth. With HT trailing 4-3, Urena hit a fastball from Taisei Urushihara for a 2-run single. In the blink of an eye, the Carp had a walk-off win.

Urena told reporters after the game: "This one was touch and go, but we were able to put it in the win column."
