Buffaloes Beat Hawks, 5-3
Fukuoka SoftBank got a terrific game from third baseman Philip Faeth. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to ORIX, 5-3. Faeth was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He went 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Ben Bowen got credit for the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. Kouichi Hayashi was called on to finish, recording his 6th save.

The Buffaloes beat the Hawks with some clutch hitting. The single by Moromao Tada in the bottom of the third is a good example. With two down, Tada gave his team the lead, 4-3, when he came through with the big hit.

In comments to the ORIX Today, Tada admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."

The 'W' lifts ORIX's record to 22-25.
