Hideto Asamura drove in five runs on Sunday to power the Seibu Lions to a 10-2 Pacific League win over the Chiba Lotte Marines.
Asamura had RBI doubles in the first two innings as the Lions jumped out to a 3-0 lead against Yuki Karakawa (0-3). With the Lions leading 5-0 in the fifth in support of Brian Wolfe (3-0), Asamura singled in another run. He put the icing on the cake by singling in a run in the ninth to complete the scoring.
"I didn't hit the ball that well today, but I was able to find holes. That being said, my batting form has been good," said Asamura, who also drew a walk and flied out to end the Lions' two-run third.
