| Buffaloes Turn Back Fukuoka SoftBank, 6-5 | The ORIX Buffaloes took Fukuoka SoftBank pitcher Tai Fen's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Ballpark of Aomori College. The final score had ORIX getting past the Hawks, 6-5. Fen went 5.1 innings and allowed 1 earned run, striking out 5. The win was credited to Toyohisa Osaki in relief. His record improves to 4-0. Takashi Saiki took the loss. ORIX occupies third place in the Pacific Division at 21-17.
In the top of the 7th, pinch hitter Tony Ruiz gave ORIX the lead when he hit a bases-clearing double. The Buffaloes had been trailing 5-3, but the two-out double off Fukuoka SoftBank pitcher Takashi Saiki changed that -- and ORIX went on to win.
"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Fukuoka SoftBank manager Allen Cummings. "The effort was great."
