Shuichi Murata played hero twice Saturday, delivering a game-tying three-run homer in the eighth inning before hitting a walkoff shot in the bottom of the 10th to lift the Yokohama BayStars to a 5-4 win over the Saitama Seibu Lions.
Seibu overcame a 1-0 deficit on homers by Takeya Nakamura, Takahiko G.G. Sato and Hiram Bocachica for a 4-1 lead through the fifth, only to allow Yokohama to tie it on Murata's three-run drive with one out in the eighth at Yokohama Stadium.
With two outs in the 10th, Murata went deep off Alex Graman (1-2) over the right-center wall. Hayato Terahara (3-5) got the win in relief. The Pacific League-leading Lions lost a season-worst fifth game in a row.
