Rain Once Again Keeps Hawks, Eagles From Taking Flight
The Hawks were somewhat lucky to get another rainout today because they have ducked Iwakuma not once, but twice. Since these games will be made up at the end of the season, maybe the Hawks duck Iwakuma entirely?

Either way, after gaining half a game on the Seibu Lions yesterday thanks to a 9-3 Fighters win, the Lions gained that half-game right back with a 4-3 win at Sapporo Dome today. That puts the Hawks 7.5 games behind the Lions for 1st place in the Pacific League, and the Hawks are still 1 game ahead of the Fighters for 2nd place.

The Hawks now head home to Fukuoka to play a short 2-game series against the Orix Buffaloes, then a 3-game series will ensue against the Lions for the weekend. With the Buffaloes 1.5 games out of a playoff spot, and needing to gain ground on the Lions, this is an important homestand for the Hawks.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
