Golden Eagles Outmuscle ORIX, 9-8
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles and ORIX Buffaloes obliged those fans who came to Sailboats Ballpark looking for a good time.

The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles did just enough to secure a 9-8 victory over the ORIX Buffaloes at Sailboats Ballpark. Nobody did more than third baseman Sang-your Choe, who captured player of the game honors. Takamitsu Soma was credited with the save for Tohoku Rakuten, his 5th of the season.

A key at-bat came in the bottom of the seventh inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd, the batter, Yuichiro Suzuki, hit a run-scoring single. It made the score 7-6, Tohoku Rakuten, and helped them go on to win.

"What a game," said Suzuki. "We needed every last run."

Tohoku Rakuten, at 12-9, occupies first place in the Pacific Division.
