Buffaloes Win at Saitama Seibu, 8-3
A nice crowd turned out to see the ORIX Buffaloes and Saitama Seibu Lions clash at Field of the Chariots.

ORIX designated hitter Yasuo Matsushita had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team grab a 8-3 win over the Saitama Seibu Lions. ORIX is now 13-21.

Matsushita had a game-changing single in the top of the seventh. On a 2-2 slider from Yoshio Noda, he banged a 2-run single to left, giving the Buffaloes a 3-2 lead. It was the 43rd hit of the year for Matsushita.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Matsushita.
