Nagata Excels, But Buffaloes Win
Kaiji Nagata had a good game, but he could not keep the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks from falling, 16-8, to the ORIX Buffaloes at Ballpark of Aomori College. The Fukuoka SoftBank shortstop slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4 in the loss. Shun Saruwatari was the winning pitcher. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 2 strikeouts. ORIX has an impressive 25-10 record.

ORIX relied on the hitting of Fu-chi Ming to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a solo home run in the top of the first inning to put the Buffaloes on top, 1-0. For the game, Ming had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Steve Richards said.
