Nobuhiko Matsunaka homered twice and Nobuhiro Matsuda hit a solo blast among his three hits as the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks extended their winning streak to three games in a 7-2 romp over the Seibu Lions on Wednesday.
Matsuda and Michael Restovich had RBI singles in the first inning before Seibu cut its deficit to one run on a Yoshihito Ishii RBI double in the second. Restovich added a run-scoring single in the third but Toru Hosokawa's RBI double made it 3-2 in the fourth.
Matsuda went deep one inning later and Matsunaka had a solo shot for his first homer of the night before cranking a two-run drive in the ninth — both the opposite way to left field — at Seibu Dome.
