Aan Excels, But Golden Eagles Win
ORIX first baseman Chong-chin Aan pounded Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles pitchers at Sea Hawks Stadium, but it was not enough to keep the Buffaloes from falling, 8-7. Aan went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Masanori Hayashi picked up the save, his 4th. The Golden Eagles now own a record of 9-8.

Tohoku Rakuten used the timely hitting of Jian-gang Chi to capture the win. The pinch hitter socked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Golden Eagles ahead, 8-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a big one.

"We came out aggressive," said Golden Eagles manager Gabriel McKinnes. "We came out swinging the bats."
