Yoshinori Okihara hit a bases-loaded single to right to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning, as the Hanshin Tigers completed a three-game sweep over the Yakult Swallows with a 1-0 "sayonara" victory at Koshien Stadium on Wednesday.
Scoreless until the 11th inning, pinch hitter Ryo Asai singled off Yakult reliever Hirotoshi Ishii and advanced to third on a grounder by Norihiro Akahoshi and a wild pitch.
After the Swallows intentionally walked Akihiro Yano and George Arias to load the bases, Okihara hit the game-winning single.
