Keiji Obiki helped erase a four-run deficit with a come-from-behind grand slam in the second inning, and the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters went on to rout the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks 11-5 on Thursday night at Tokyo Dome.
The Fighters were behind 4-1 in the second when Obiki connected on the first grand slam of his career, his third home run this season, to give the team a 5-4 lead.
The two teams were back at the Big Egg after playing the longest game in Pacific League history the night before. The Hawks earned a 12-inning, 9-7 win in that contest, which took 6 hours and 1 minute to play.
