FUKUOKA -- It doesn't get any better than this. Seventh game of the Japan Series with the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks and the Hanshin Tigers.
The Hawks trying to make it a seven-game sweep for the home team for the first time in J.S. history; the Tigers attempting to put one in the win column for the visitors.
Both teams followed the pattern of strong left-handed pitching that saw southpaws winning the previous six games. Daiei started rookie lefty Tsuyoshi Wada; Hanshin went with American portsider Trey Moore who pitched brilliantly in Game 3 at Koshien Stadium on Oct. 22.
