Tadashi Settsu pitched two-run ball over seven innings, Yuya Hasegawa hit a two-run homer to key a six-run sixth, and the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks snapped a five-game losing skid with a 10-3 come-from-behind rout of the Seibu Lions on Saturday.
Toru Hosokawa's RBI single tied it in the second before Seiichi Uchikawa hit a go-ahead RBI double in the fifth. Hasegawa went deep to left-center off reliever Yuta Nakazaki with one out and a runner on third in the sixth at Kamoike Stadium.
Settsu (4-1) struck out five, walked two and hit a batter. Hideaki Wakui had a bad day at the office, yielding six runs — one unearned — in 5⅓ innings for Seibu, which dropped its third straight and slipped into second place.
