Kawasaki, who is tied for 9th in the PL in hits with 54, went 2-4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Hawks. Soichi Sato picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 3-0. Kenjyu Kato was tagged with the loss. Fukuoka SoftBank now owns a record of 28-29.
Shinji Tanaka, who is tied for 5th in the PL in home runs with 14, contributed to the Fukuoka SoftBank win with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the ninth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.
"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Kawasaki.
