Frank Bolick blasted a grand slam off Rodney Pedraza in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving the Chiba Lotte Marines a 10-9 "sayonara" triumph over the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks Monday at Chiba Marine Stadium.
With the score tied 6-6 in the top of the 10th inning, pinch-hitter Noriyoshi Omichi drilled a three-run homer off Soichi Fujita for the Hawks.
In the bottom of the frame, however, the Marines jumped on Daiei closer Pedraza for three hits to load the bases with none out. Bolick then nailed his second homer of the day for the comeback win. He smacked a two-run shot in the fifth inning.
