Kageyama Goes Off, But Buffaloes Win
Nagateru Kageyama did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters from losing, 10-5, to the ORIX Buffaloes at Sea Hawks Stadium. Kageyama slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. ORIX has 3 straight wins, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham 3 straight losses.

ORIX right fielder Tsugio (Jiro) Kanda contributed to the cause with a double in the bottom of the third. For the game, Kanda was 2-4 with 2 doubles and a walk.

In postgame comments to the ORIX Bulletin, Kanda said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
