Kazuhiro Wada homered twice and Alex Cabrera belted his 52nd home run of the season as the Pacific League-leading Seibu Lions beat the Nippon Ham Fighters 10-8 at the Seibu Dome on Tuesday, slashing their magic number for winning their first pennant since 1998 to two.
Wada went 3-for-3 with four RBIs, slamming a three-run dinger in the first and a solo in the fifth for his 32nd and 33rd homers.
Kazuo Matsui also homered, hitting a three-run clout in the fourth inning for his 32nd dinger of the year.
