The Chiba Lotte Marines and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters provided some drama at Ballpark of Nasu College.

The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters had to overcome a big game from Chiba Lotte center fielder Mincho Sato to leave Ballpark of Nasu College with a 9-8 victory. Sato was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Masahiro Okamoto, credited with the win, is now 2-0. He allowed no runs on no hits in 0.2 innings.

Trailing 8-7, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham's fortunes turned in the top of the ninth inning when the 22-year old catcher Toyoshi Yoshino lifted a 2-2 changeup into the stands for a 2-run home run. The round-tripper put the Fighters up, 9-8.

"What a game," said Yoshino. "We needed every last run."

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham is 25-25 and Chiba Lotte, with the loss, 31-19.
