Buffaloes Prevail, 6-5, Over Fukuoka SoftBank
The ORIX Buffaloes topped the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, 6-5, in Pacific League action at Sea Hawks Stadium. The player of the game was ORIX pitcher Melvin Carrillo. Earning his 3rd save of the year was Chih Xia. The Buffaloes, now 15-25, know that wins in April count the same as wins in September.

One important at-bat came with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning. Facing Fukuoka SoftBank hurler Tatsuya Yoshida, Jung-sang Baik hit a 2-run single. The Buffaloes went on to win.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Baik told a ORIX Bulletin reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."
