Daisuke Yamai and Hitoki Iwase combined to throw a perfect game Thursday as the Chunichi Dragons edged the Nippon Ham Fighters 1-0 in Game 5, capturing their first Japan Series title in 53 years.
Chunichi won the best-of-seven series four games to one.
The best season for Dragons. The home stadium for Dragons is within walking distance from my home. My junior high is next to the stadium.
