Hawks Outlast Buffaloes, 14-11
Shigenori Kawata was the difference-maker for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks in what turned into a shootout with the ORIX Buffaloes. Kawata earned the player of the game award after going 2-for-4 in the 14-11 Hawks win. Motokazu Kimura, credited with the win, is now 5-1. He allowed 5 runs on 3 hits in 0.1 innings. ORIX has now lost 4 straight.

In the top of the first, Kawata had one of his most important at-bats: a 2-run home run off Tatsuma Okura that staked the Hawks to a 2-0 lead.

"Guys always talk about winning games because of the 'little things,'" Kawata told the Fukuoka SoftBank Today. "Call me old fashioned, but I think baseball is about the big things -- like scoring more runs."
