Golden Eagles Beat Hawks, 5-1
Katsumi Nakata never let the Hawks get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his change up, to pitch the Golden Eagles to a 5-1 win. It was the 8th win in 12 games this year for the defending champion Golden Eagles, who are picking up where they left off.

Noboru Suzuki in the bottom of the fifth had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and the Golden Eagles leading 2-1, the Tohoku Rakuten right fielder drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Suzuki.
