Honda, Hanshin Start Japan Series Championship Strong with Home Win
The Hanshin Tigers started the Japan Series Championship in style today, downing the visiting ORIX Buffaloes at Ballpark of Otofuke College by a score of 11-7 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Tigers left fielder Sekien Honda was named player of the game after he went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3.

Hanshin right fielder Roka Imada helped the Tigers go up, 3-1, in the bottom of the second inning. With the game tied, Imada hit a 2-run home run off ORIX pitcher Hiroyuki Nakata.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Imada told reporters after the game.

Game 2 is set to be played tomorrow at Ballpark of Otofuke College. The scheduled starters for the game are Justin Conatser for ORIX and Gerardo Contreras for Hanshin.
