Hawks Clip Golden Eagles, 5-4
The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks had to overcome a big game from Tohoku Rakuten center fielder Jerry Arnott to leave Sailboats Ballpark with a 5-4 victory. Arnott hit 2 home runs. The Hawks are now 23-28, while the Golden Eagles fall to 30-21.

It could have been a different outcome for Fukuoka SoftBank, had it not been for Musashi Otsuji, the 19-year old first baseman . Otsuji contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the fifth inning to put Fukuoka SoftBank up, 5-3.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Otsuji said.
