Ryoichi Adachi went 3-for-4 with four RBIs on Wednesday as the Orix Buffaloes came from behind to beat Pacific League-leading Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks 14-4.
In front of a sellout crowd at Yafuoku Dome, Adachi tied the game at 4-4 with a two-run, sixth-inning double against Hawks reliever Ryoma Matsuda (2-3) and then scored the go-ahead run on a single by Kenya Wakatsuki.
"Our team is picking up momentum. But we still have games left so we need to keep gunning," Adachi said.
