| Matsuoka Leads Golden Eagles to Win over Hawks | The exploits of third baseman Isei Matsuoka, who is tied for 5th in the PL in triples with 2, helped the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles defeat the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, 9-2. Matsuoka was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Sang-Seung Lee earned the win for Tohoku Rakuten. He lasted 5.1 innings, allowing 2 earned runs on 4 hits, while striking out 7. With the win, he raised his record to 3-1. The win puts the Golden Eagles at 19-26, while the Hawks drop to 24-21.
When the Golden Eagles needed a boost, it was the light-hitting Matsuoka who delivered. Facing Fukuoka SoftBank pitcher Justin Mock the top of the second with the bases loaded, Matsuoka hit his 3rd home run of the year. It made the score 8-0.
"I felt we were ready to go," said Tohoku Rakuten manager Javier Quintana. "Our pregame was pretty good."
