The Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters have been working hard to put up good results over the past several days. So they're not about to take their feet off the gas now just because it's Golden Week.
Taishi Ota sent two balls into the stands, Oswaldo Arcia sent one over the roof and the Fighters are going into the spring holidays with a lot of momentum after a 5-2 win over the Chiba Lotte Marines on a windy Saturday afternoon at Zozo Marine Stadium.
Ota has been swinging the bat particularly well for Nippon Ham as of late. The outfielder, who was 2-for-5 with three RBIs on Saturday, has had two hits in three of his last four games and also had a two-homer contest against the Orix Buffaloes on Tuesday.
