Koji Oshiro hit a walk-off RBI single to give the Orix Buffaloes a 3-2 win over the visiting Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles on Thursday night.
The teams came into the bottom of the ninth at Kyocera Dome tied 2-2 after Japhet Amador leveled the score with an RBI single to right at the top of the inning.
Ryoichi Adachi singled to right off Rakuten closer Frank Hermann before stealing second with Yuma Mune at the plate. Lefty hitter Mune then singled to right to move Adachi into scoring position and set the stage for Oshiro's heroics.
