The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks got a superb performance from pitcher Hirohide Aizawa, but the Saitama Seibu Lions still won the game, 10-8. Aizawa was named the player of the game despite the loss. He came in in relief and pitched to 16 batters . Getting the save was Kiichi Onishi, his 6th. The 4th-place Lions lifted their record to 14-15.

The Lions got an important contribution from catcher Takuzo Moriguchi, who in the top of the fifth punched a 1-1 splitter into left for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Lions ahead, 10-5.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Moriguchi, "but we got it done."
