Lions Pull Back to .500 With Win Over Fighters
The Saitama Seibu Lions overcame a good performance by Hokkaido Nippon-Ham shortstop Hitoshi Okimoto to knock off Hokkaido Nippon-Ham, 5-3, at Ballpark of Hakui College. Okimoto went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Tadamasa Fujita, the winner, improved to 3-3. He held the Fighters to 3 earned runs on 6 hits over 6 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 6. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham, at 15-17, has lost 4 straight.

One important at-bat came with the bases loaded in the top of the third inning. Facing Hokkaido Nippon-Ham hurler Tim Elion, Mitsunori Sonoda, who is the 6th-best prospect in the Lions organization, reached on catcher's interference. The Lions went on to win.

"Feels good to get the job done," Sonoda said after the game.
