The Yomiuri Giants had victory snatched away with two outs in the top of the ninth inning.

In the bottom half of the frame, Leslie Anderson and Shuichi Murata helped them take it back.

Anderson tied the game with a single to right, and Murata sent a crowd of 45,975 into a frenzy with a sayonara single to left that gave Yomiuri a 5-4 win over the Tokyo Yakult Swallows on Tuesday afternoon at Tokyo Dome.
