Taisei Takagi nailed a "sayonara" RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning to drive home the only run of the game as the Seibu Lions edged the Orix BlueWave 1-0 in a tight pitching duel at the Seibu Dome on Tuesday.
With one out and a runner on second, Takagi drove a double into right field off Orix starter Hidetaka Kawagoe (0-2) as the Lions won their third straight game.
Seibu ace Daisuke Matsuzaka scattered five hits over the distance while fanning seven and did not let the BlueWave past second base in picking up his second win.
