Golden Eagles Raise Rally Flag, Beat Saitama Seibu, 4-3
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles beat the Saitama Seibu Lions, 4-3, at Sailboats Ballpark. The win was largely due to the efforts of third baseman Wu-sheng Ren, who captured player of the game honors. He was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. Tohoku Rakuten's record now stands at 13-12, placing them third in the Pacific Division.

James Briggs was the walk-off hero for Tohoku Rakuten. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Golden Eagles center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

In postgame comments to the Tohoku Rakuten Gazette, Briggs said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
