Gonzales 3-5 as Golden Eagles Squeeze Past Hokkaido Nippon-Ham
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles beat the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, 9-8 at Sailboats Ballpark, in part due to designated hitter Willie Gonzales, who nabbed player of the game honors. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. At 13-14, Tohoku Rakuten is in 4th place in the Pacific Division.

Bi-jun Tsou was 1 for 3 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs for Tohoku Rakuten. The 19-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Ismael Landa. It was his 19th RBI of the season.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Gonzales told reporters after the game.
