Hawks Top Lions in Extras
Fukuoka SoftBank beat Saitama Seibu at Field of the Chariots, escaping with a 7-6 win. The win in large part was due to second baseman Shinzo Nishimura, who earned player of the game honors. He was 2-2 with a home run. The winner was Fukuoka SoftBank reliever Tatsuro Tanaka, now 1-0. The loser was Kenjiro Masukawa. At 2-1, the Hawks have played well so far.

Late-game drama came in the top of the ninth inning. With no one out and the bases empty, the batter, Shinzo Nishimura, hit a single. It helped Fukuoka SoftBank seize the win.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Nishimura.
