Golden Eagles Prevail, 4-2, Over Fukuoka SoftBank
Tohoku Rakuten and Fukuoka SoftBank took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles dealt the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks a 4-2 loss at Sailboats Ballpark. Mike Caulkins was the star on offense. He was 2 for 2 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Masanori Hayashi finished to wrap up his 14th save.

Making an impact for the home team was Jian-gang Chi. In the bottom of the sixth, the 21-year old second baseman had a run-scoring double. That made the score 3-2, Golden Eagles.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Chi told the Tohoku Rakuten Chronicle. "You win just by scoring more runs."

Tohoku Rakuten is now 30-20.
