Hatsuhiko Tsuji of Seibu scores the Series's final run in memorable fashion. With two outs, he was on first base when Koji Akiyama singled to center. Yomiuri CF Warren Cromartie was slow in recovering the ball, then lobbed it lightly to SS Masahiro Kawai. Those actions gave Tsuji the time he needed to sprint all the way from first to home.
