He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for Fukuoka SoftBank. Fukuoka SoftBank reliever Mike Mitchell was credited with the win, to go to 1-0. Ryozo Uehara took the loss for Tohoku Rakuten.

Ogawa had a game-changing double in the top of the eighth. On a first pitch changeup from Ryozo Uehara, he banged a 2-run double to right, giving the Hawks a 4-2 lead. It was the 3rd double of the year for Ogawa.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Ogawa said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."

The Hawks, now 2-0, have hit the ground running this season.
