So their ace pitcher made sure they didn't.Kazuki Yoshimi was dominating on the mound, Kazuhiro Wada provided all the offense with a two-run triple in the first inning, and the Dragons edged the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks 2-1 in Game 6 of the Japan Series on Saturday at Yahoo Dome."I told you, right? If we won, we would have another game, and if we lost, that would be it," Dragons manager Hiromitsu Ochiai said. "We won, so there will be another game tomorrow. It's that simple."The Dragons evened the series at three games apiece, meaning the title will be decided in Sunday's winner-take-all seventh game."Tomorrow will be the final game of 2011, and the winner will be the champion," Ochiai said.The Dragons should like their chances in Game 7, given that the road team has won all six games of this year's Japanese Fall Classic.

"This series has been very strange in that the visiting team has won every game, and I hope that will hold tomorrow," Ochiai said.Yoshimi didn't leave anything to chance on the mound as he sliced through the Softbank lineup."I went out tonight knowing we could not lose," Yoshimi said. "I got the lead in the first inning before I even went to the mound, so that made me relaxed and confident."Yoshimi threw 7⅔ innings of one-run ball, walking none and striking out eight. The Hawks had no answer for the Chunichi ace, who allowed five hits and at one point retired 12 straight batters.He was relieved with two outs in the eighth by Hitoki Iwase, who was on the mound for three outs before yielding to Takuya Asao, who retired the final batter to record the save.
