Ryoichi Adachi's three-run, eighth-inning triple powered the Orix Buffaloes to a 6-3 come-from-behind victory over the Chiba Lotte Marines in Pacific League play on Saturday.
With his team trailing 3-2, the slumping Adachi came to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded after Marines reliever Naoya Masuda (2-6) had walked the first two hitters and hit a batter with one out.
Adachi lifted a low 1-1 pitch to straightaway center. With center fielder Shohei Kato playing shallow and toward right field against the light-hitting Adachi, he was unable to haul in the ball for the third out.
