Takayuki Terauchi and Hisayoshi Chono secured return tickets to Sendai for the Yomiuri Giants and breathed new life into the Japan Series in the process.
Chono drove in three runs to keep the Giants in the game early, and Terauchi delivered a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh to help the Giants edge the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles 6-5 in Game 4 of the Japan Series on Wednesday at Tokyo Dome.
"Terauchi has been a hot hitter for us, but we also got big hits from Chono and (Tetsuya) Matsumoto," Giants manager Tatsunori Hara said.
