Multi-HR Game for Kageyama in 5-4 Win
Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Nagateru Kageyama, the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters defeated the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, 5-4. Kageyama went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Fighters. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham reliever Will Wence was credited with the win, to go to 1-0. Kiyooki Takashima took the loss for Fukuoka SoftBank. Mitsuya Ikuta nailed down his 1st save.

One important at-bat came with a runner on 2nd in the top of the eighth inning. Facing Fukuoka SoftBank hurler Kiyooki Takashima, Masanobu Yoshida hit a run-scoring single. The Fighters went on to win.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Kageyama told the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Herald.

The Fighters, with just their 2nd win in 9 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.
