Hawks Score Late to Upend Golden Eagles, 9-8
Tohoku Rakuten right fielder Hajimu Miyagawa pounded Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks pitchers at Ballpark of Aomori College, but it was not enough to keep the Golden Eagles from falling, 9-8. Miyagawa slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Fukuoka SoftBank reliever Toshinori Takamiya picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Masanori Hayashi absorbed the loss. The 4th-place Hawks are now 17-18, the Golden Eagles 19-16.

Randy Chafey was a prime factor in the win for the Hawks. In the bottom of the ninth with two out, the top prospect hit a walk-off 2-run single. He went 1-5, while adding 2 RBI.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Chafey.
