Hawks Drop Fighters with Late Score
Fukuoka SoftBank starter Motonobu Higashi had a strong outing against the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters at Ballpark of Hakui College. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-3 win. Earning his 6th save of the year was Toshinori Takamiya. The Hawks now have a record of 11-12 with the win over Hokkaido Nippon-Ham.

It could have been a different outcome for Fukuoka SoftBank, had it not been for Fumiki Okuda, the 18-year old third baseman . Okuda contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Fukuoka SoftBank up, 4-3.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Okuda told the Fukuoka SoftBank Times. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
