Golden Eagles Turn Back Fukuoka SoftBank, 7-6
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles beat the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, 7-6 at Ballpark of Aomori College, in part due to center fielder Jerry Arnott, who nabbed player of the game honors. He was 2-2 with a home run and 3 walks. Tohoku Rakuten reliever Shinichi Abe got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Ryan Hall was tagged with the loss. Masanori Hayashi earned the save, his 2nd.

It could have been a different outcome for Tohoku Rakuten, had it not been for Jian-gang Chi, the 21-year old second baseman . Chi contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put Tohoku Rakuten up, 7-6.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Arnott, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."

The Golden Eagles keep rolling, raising their record to 5-1.
