Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Wins, Shintani has 4 hit night
The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters turned back the ORIX Buffaloes, 8-7, at Ballpark of Hakui College. Ikumasa Shintani was named player of the game for his fine performance. He went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham reliever Toyo Niimi picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Mike Blythe took the loss. Isao Yonemura nailed down his 11th save.

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham center fielder Yoshitomo Noda changed the complexion of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning. That's when he belted a 3-run home run off Mike Blythe. His 8th home run of the season put Hokkaido Nippon-Ham in front, 7-6.

"Nervous? No," said Noda. "It was my time to shine."

The Fighters now have a mark of 23-21.
