Buffaloes Win, Hope to Turn Around Slow Start
The ORIX Buffaloes topped the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, 8-4, with left fielder Chong-chin Aan playing a big role. Aan was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 3 times for the Buffaloes in the win. Yoshiyau Uchida, credited with the win, is now 1-1. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits in 9 innings. The Buffaloes are off to a tough start, getting just their 3rd win in 11 games.

A critical at-bat came in the bottom of the seventh inning when the Buffaloes sent 19-year-old shortstop Alex Roman to the plate with the bases loaded. The youngster shook off the pressure and drew a walk, driving in 1 run, to put ORIX on top, 5-4.

"We came out aggressive," said Buffaloes manager John Woodroffe. "We came out swinging the bats."
