The series was clinched tonight at Samurai Park, with Tokyo coming out on top 5-4 in the deciding game.

Franklin's strong series included a .429 batting average, with a .478 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 7 RBI and scored 2 runs.

The Round 2 matchups and schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
