Fighters Absorb 10-6 Home Loss
Sapporo Dome was the site for Pacific League action featuring the HNH Fighters and OR Buffaloes.

OR second baseman Shuhei Fukuda was instrumental in helping the Buffaloes triumph, 10-6, over the HNH Fighters. Fukuda was 3-5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 4 runs. Ryoga Tomiyama earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 2.1 innings. His record is now 1-0.

Shoki Katsumata had a key at-bat with one out in the top of the third for OR. With the bases loaded and the Buffaloes leading 1-0, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

Katsumata expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."

The Fighters drop to 14-14 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2025 season.
