Adam Riggs homered twice to drive in four runs as the Yakult Swallows beat the Central League-winning Hanshin Tigers 8-4 Friday night at Jingu Stadium.
After the party of winning their first CL title in two years a day earlier, the Tigers blew a 4-1 lead when Yakult turned the game around with a five-run seventh inning.
Riggs hit a solo blast in the second and a three-run drive to the stands in left off Hirotaka Egusa (4-3) to key the seventh in Yakult's 14-hit attack.
