The Seibu Lions looked like an unstoppable force on Saturday afternoon. The Chiba Lotte Marines, on the other hand, were hardly an immovable object.

Takeya Nakamura hit a three-run home run and drove in five runs, Shogo Saito and Takumi Kuriyama added solo shots, and the Lions beat the Chiba Lotte Marines 8-2 on Saturday afternoon at Seibu Prince Dome.

Nakamura had a big game, going 3-for-4, his eighth modasho (three-hit game) of the season.
