Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles (4-3) 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 X 2 6 0
Golden Eagles Turn Back Fukuoka SoftBank, 2-1
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles went home winners at Sailboats Ballpark, thanks in large part to starter Katsumi Nakata. Nakata silenced the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, enabling Tohoku Rakuten to grab the 2-1 win. The winner was Tohoku Rakuten reliever Kengo Fujita, now 1-0. The loser was Kazuteru Hayashi. The loss drops Fukuoka SoftBank to 2-5.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and no one out in the bottom of the fifth inning. That's when center fielder James Briggs, who is rated as the 30th best prospect by BNN, drew a walk. The Golden Eagles went on to win.

"It feels good to get this one," Briggs told the Tohoku Rakuten Gazette.
