Lions Lose Again, 8-7, to Buffaloes
ORIX played host to Saitama Seibu at the friendly confines of Sea Hawks Stadium.

The ORIX Buffaloes topped the Saitama Seibu Lions by the score of 8-7, with the largest share of the credit going to catcher Ichiro Yoshioka. Yoshioka went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Buffaloes. The slumping Lions have lost 7 straight.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and one out in the bottom of the sixth inning. That's when right fielder Tsugio (Jiro) Kanda, who is tied for 8th in the PL in home runs with 5, hit a single. The Buffaloes went on to win.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Yoshioka told the ORIX Bulletin. "You win just by scoring more runs."
