Like their famous manager, the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks let their bats do the talking.
Daiei's Hiroshi Shibahara singles home the leadoff run in the top of the second inning at Chiba Marine Stadium.
The Hawks won their first Pacific League pennant since 2000 on Tuesday when the Orix BlueWave defeated second-place Seibu 6-3 in Kobe to eliminate the Lions from the pennant race.
