Daiei rookie Tsuyoshi Wada fanned 12 batters over the distance in notching his fourth victory and Tadahito Iguchi homered in consecutive at-bats as the Hawks defeated the Orix BlueWave 8-4 at Yahoo BB Stadium on Tuesday.
Wada (4-1) walked one and gave up seven hits, including homers to Jose Ortiz -- a solo shot in the fourth and sixth innings -- and a two-run clout to Kazuhiko Shiotani in the ninth.
With the BlueWave leading 1-0 in the fifth, Iguchi drilled a three-run homer off Orix starter Masahiko Kaneda (0-1) to put Daiei ahead.
