FUKUOKA -- Not even the arrest of catcher Naoki Sugiyama could affect the Yomiuri Giants' concentration.
And a two-day break at home could do nothing to help the Hawks break out of the Doldrums as the Giants edged Daiei 2-1 at the Fukuoka Dome in Game 4 of the Japan Series on Thursday.
The Series is now split at 2-2 and after Friday's Game 5 in Fukuoka will return to the Tokyo Dome on Saturday.
