Hawks Get One-Run Win at ORIX
ORIX first baseman Keita Sato had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Sato went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2, even as Fukuoka SoftBank beat the Buffaloes, 9-8. Sato was named the player of the game despite the loss. Tatsuro Tanaka nailed down his 4th save. Fukuoka SoftBank is 9-6 and ORIX, with the loss, 7-8.

One important at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the seventh inning. Facing ORIX hurler Hayami Iwamoto, Philip Faeth, who is tied for 2nd in the PL in bases on balls with 13, drew a walk. The Hawks went on to win.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Faeth said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
