The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks topped the Saitama Seibu Lions, 5-3, with youngster Philip Faeth playing a key role. Faeth was 2-3 with a home run and a triple, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Hawks in the win. Getting the save was Tatsuro Tanaka, his 6th. Fukuoka SoftBank bumps their record to 11-10 with the win.

Faeth was 2-3 with a home run and a triple. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Fukuoka SoftBank. With the game tied in the bottom of the sixth inning, Faeth, who is tied for 6th in the PL in runs scored with 18, had a clutch at-bat. That's when he hit a run-scoring triple to give the Hawks a 4-3 lead.

"I was able to barrel up some pitches," said Faeth.
