Naoyuki Omura slugged a three-run homer and Tuffy Rhodes ripped a two-run job -- his second of the game and league-leading 34th of the season -- in an eight-run ninth inning as the Kintetsu Buffaloes overcame a 9-4 deficit to beat the Lotte Marines on Tuesday at Chiba Marine Stadium.

Kintetsu reliever Akinori Otsuka (1-5) yielded four hits and struck out four in 22/3 inning to earn the win.

The Marines had scored two runs in the first and four runs in the second for an early 6-0 lead.
