Fukuoka SoftBank left fielder Brandon Brown was a significant contributor in his team's 8-3 triumph over the Chiba Lotte Marines. He was 2 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for Fukuoka SoftBank. The Hawks, now 9-9, have won 5 in a row.

Brown had a key at-bat for Fukuoka SoftBank early in the game. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and gave Fukuoka SoftBank an early 3-0 lead.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Brown told the Fukuoka SoftBank Times.
