| Hawks Bang Out 6-1 Win Versus Saitama Seibu | The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks beat the Saitama Seibu Lions, 6-1, at Field of the Chariots. The win was largely due to the efforts of right fielder Shinji Tanaka, who captured player of the game honors. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Fukuoka SoftBank reliever Vince Oler picked up the win, upping his record to 2-2. Shigeyori Yagi absorbed the loss. The Lions, now 17-23, have lost 5 in a row.
With one out in the top of the second, Yoshiaki Dalton stroked a go-ahead run-scoring single. It was his 10th hit of the season and put Fukuoka SoftBank in front, 1-0.
"I like our moxie," said Hawks manager Allen Cummings.
