He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for Saitama Seibu. Saitama Seibu reliever Kaita Yamamoto was credited with the win, to go to 3-1. Yusuke Yamasaki took the loss for Hokkaido Nippon-Ham. Earning his 1st save for Saitama Seibu was Jim Unknown.

Kochi contributed a productive at-bat in the top of the seventh. With the bases loaded, he hit a grand slam. It was one of the critical at-bats that helped Saitama Seibu get the win.

"We maximized our offense today," said Saitama Seibu skipper Jon Crowe. "That makes everyone's life easier."

The Lions saw their win-loss record go to 24-23. At the same time, the Fighters fell to 24-23.
