Pacific League: Seibu Lions 8-4 Rakuten Eagles (28th, Belluna Dome)

Seibu Lions Mitsunari Takahashi pitcher struggled with 4 runs in the middle of the 7th inning, but thanks to the batting lineup's support, they secured their 9th win. The lineup went on a rampage with An-Ko Lin outfielder 5 RBI, including a go-ahead three-run homer. Shinya Hasegawa outfielder, returning from a fractured left hamate bone, made his comeback game and added momentum with 3 hit, 2 RBI, and 2 runs.

Leo's "igniter" set the lineup on fire. With two outs in the first inning, Hasegawa reached base with a single to center. Nevin followed with a single to left, and then An-Ko Lin launched a massive three-run home run over the right-field wall, getting the team off to a great start with an early three-run lead.

In the third inning, with one out and a runner on first, Hasegawa hit a single to left field. Nevin walked on Walk, and Hasegawa scored from second base on a two-run hit by An-Ko Lin. In the seventh inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, he hit a tough two-run single through the gap between first and second base.

The Rakuten Eagles have achieved a six-game winning streak. The gap with the league-leading Softbank Hawks remains at six games, but they will fight to the end.
