| Tigers Finish Off Swallows in 12 | The Tigers faced a stiff challenge from Tokyo Yakult pitcher Okura Shindo, but persevered to claim a win at Rebels Ballpark. The final score was 1-0. Shindo went 5.2 innings and allowed no earned runs. Hanshin reliever Carlos Tafolla picked up the win, upping his record to 3-1. Josh Lewis was saddled with the loss. The first-place Tigers have won 5 straight games.
It could have been a different outcome for Hanshin, had it not been for Jason Lawson, the 19-year old second baseman . Lawson contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the 12th inning to put Hanshin up, 1-0.
"Tough ballgame, tough loss," said Tokyo Yakult manager Bob Costas.
