Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks starter Motonobu Higashi was in fine form against the Chiba Lotte Marines at Ballpark of Nasu College, leading his team to a 6-2 win. The Hawks now have a mark of 16-16.

One important at-bat came with a runner on 1st in the top of the fourth inning. Facing Chiba Lotte hurler Kazumi Yamashita, Satomi Takasugi, who is tied for 6th in the PL in extra base hits with 17, hit a 2-run home run. The Hawks went on to win.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Higashi told the Fukuoka SoftBank Times.
