Lions Pull Back to .500 With Win Over Hawks
The Saitama Seibu Lions picked up a win at Ballpark of Aomori College, knocking off the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, 3-2. Starting pitcher Tommie Jaffray, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why. Jaffray, now 7-4, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 9, walking 3, and allowing 2 earned runs. The Lions sit in 4th place in the Pacific Division with a record of 29-29.

Saitama Seibu relied on the bat of Latif Kundi to get the win. The third baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Lions ahead, 2-1. For the game, Kundi had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

In postgame remarks, Kundi said: "To all who've been doubting my effort -- I hope they saw this game."
