The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks got a rain-soaked win over the Saitama Seibu Lions at Ballpark of Aomori College.

The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks defeated the Saitama Seibu Lions, 6-5, at Ballpark of Aomori College today. Leading the charge for Fukuoka SoftBank was shortstop Kaiji Nagata. He hit 2 home runs. Fukuoka SoftBank reliever Tien Tran-Dinh picked up the win to move to 1-0. Matt Todd suffered the loss. Tatsuro Tanaka picked up the save for Fukuoka SoftBank, his 1st of the year.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 3rd and two out in the bottom of the seventh inning. That's when pinch hitter Shigenori Kawata, who is the 9th-best prospect in the Hawks organization, drew a walk. The Hawks went on to win.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Kawata told a Fukuoka SoftBank Observer reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."

The Lions, now 4-13, have lost 6 in a row.
