Lions Cut Down Fighters, 7-4
Saitama Seibu and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham met at Ballpark of Hakui College in front of a lively crowd.

The inspired effort of Hokkaido Nippon-Ham left fielder Takahiro Kato was not enough to prevent a 7-4 loss to the Saitama Seibu Lions. Kato was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The third-place Lions raised their record to 23-22.

Kuniaki Tanaka, who is tied for 2nd in the PL with a 1.118 OPS, helped out the Saitama Seibu cause in the top of the eighth inning with a 2-run single. For the game, the right fielder was 2-5 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

"I like to lead by example," said Tanaka. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
