Nicknamed "There are ties in baseball without Bud Selig" after the 2002 MLB All-Star Game friendly that ended as a tie game, because of the result of this game, the 5:43 game was the longest game in history, and in theory is least likely to be eclipsed following a 2018 rule change standardising the limit on extra innings across the regular season and postseason to 12 innings.

Lotte LF Ikuhiro Kiyota's one-out double off Takuya Asao was the game-tying hit in the top of the eighth to knot the game up at 2-2. The teams played 7 1/2 scoreless innings after that, and was tied at the end of the postseason extra innings cap, the 15th inning.

Under the rules of the series, Chunichi had to win Game 7 in order to push it to a Game 8.

In his next start, on April 17, Sasaki pitched eight perfect innings against the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, before manager Tadahito Iguchi took him out of the game before the ninth inning. Had he completed the perfect game, he would have become only the second person in professional baseball history to throw two perfect games and would have become the first man to do so in consecutive starts.
