Kenji Jojima cracked a two-run roundtripper to snap a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning and the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks ripped five homers to beat the Nippon Ham Fighters 8-5 Tuesday at the Tokyo Dome.
The Hawks took a 3-1 lead when Hiroki Kokubo blasted a two-run homer -- his 17th of the season -- in the first and Nobuhiko Matsunaka homered for a run in the fourth.
The Fighters tied the score in the fifth, but the Hawks' four-run rally in the sixth put the game away.
