Buffaloes Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Lions
Saitama Seibu shortstop Yoshikatsu Tomita had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Tomita went 2 for 4 with a home run, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 3 runs, even as ORIX beat the Lions, 9-8. Tomita was named the player of the game despite the loss. ORIX reliever Shizuka Ikeda picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Kaishi Nomura absorbed the loss. Mitsumori Yamaguchi sewed up the save, his 5th.

ORIX took a 7-6 lead on Alex Roman's 12th hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Roman hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Saitama Seibu pitcher Kaishi Nomura visibly frustrated.

"We'll build on this win," said Roman.

The 5th-place Lions have lost 6 consecutive games.
