Dave Doster and Motonobu Tanishige both had three RBIs as the Yokohama BayStars won their ninth straight game by edging the Hiroshima Carp 11-9 at Hiroshima Stadium on Thursday night.
The nine-game winning streak is the longest in Japanese professional baseball this season and also the longest for the BayStars since they won 10 games in a row during the 1999 season.
With the Carp leading 2-1 in the top of the third inning, the BayStars collected six hits and two walks to score six runs, making the score 7-2.
