Hawks Fall to .500 After Loss to Lions
Fans at Ballpark of Aomori College were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks take on the Saitama Seibu Lions.

Fukuoka SoftBank got a terrific performance from third baseman Fumiki Okuda, but it wasn't enough to beat the Saitama Seibu Lions. Saitama Seibu won the Ballpark of Aomori College contest, 9-7. Okuda was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Hyoji Ikeda, the winner, improved to 4-2. He held the Hawks to no earned runs on 4 hits over 5.2 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 3. Kiichi Onishi earned the save for Saitama Seibu, his 5th.

In the top of the first, first baseman Gwang-oo Hah hit a 3-run home run to center. The home run, which was hit off of Tatsuya Yoshida, gave Saitama Seibu a 3-0 lead.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Hah told the Saitama Seibu Chronicle.

Saitama Seibu's record now stands at 13-15, placing them 5th in the Pacific Division.
