Chunichi Dragons of Nagoya won the Nippon Series against Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters with a 1-0 perfect game in Game 5. Starter Daisuke Yamai and closer Hitoki Iwase retired all 27 Fighters Batters and won the match against the Fighter's ace Yu Darvish who delivered a strong performance once again and proved that he was a worthy winner of the Japanese equivalent to the Cy Young award, the Sawamura award. So this gives the Dragons their first title since 1954 and with this at least one drought ended this year, when the Cubs and the Indians saw their hopes buried in the MLB across the Pacific.
