The YO Giants reigned over the HA Tigers in damp conditions.

YO pinch hitter Tetsu Hagiwara had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the HA Tigers, 6-3. YO reliever Yuta Kuroki was credited with the win. His record goes to 1-0. Daichi Ishii took the loss for HA.

Hagiwara had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 0-1 changeup from Daichi Ishii, he banged a grand slam home run to center, giving the Giants a 5-1 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Hagiwara.

HA manager Shigetoshi Hasegawa, after yet another defeat, said: "We don't want to panic. At the same time, we need to stop the bleeding."

The Giants, now 7-3, have hit the ground running this season.
