Late Rally by Tigers Secures Win
Hiroshima Toyo third baseman Joo-Chan Chang had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Chang went 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4, even as Hanshin beat the Carp, 9-6. Chang was named the player of the game despite the loss. Hanshin reliever Hideyuki Okazaki got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Sohichiro Kuboyama was tagged with the loss. With the win, Hanshin goes to 8-9, while the Carp fall to 6-11.

This game was not decided until late. With one out in the top of the ninth, Hisashi Higashi drew a walk, driving in 1 run. The Tigers took the lead, 5-4.

"We'll enjoy this win for now, but it's just one," Higashi told local reporters. "We've got to keep it going."
