Buffaloes Edge Past Lions, 6-5
This fight went fifteen rounds and the Buffaloes came out the winner.

ORIX Buffaloes starter Takuzo Okuyama was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Saitama Seibu Lions, 6-5. ORIX is now 13-11, Saitama Seibu 12-12.

The Buffaloes got an important contribution from right fielder Fu-chi Ming, who in the top of the 15th hit a 1-2 fastball into center for a run-scoring single. It was his 28th hit of the season and put the Buffaloes ahead, 6-5.

"We had a chance to win," said Saitama Seibu manager Jon Crowe, "but we didn't get it done."
