A number of players made contributions to the Orix Buffaloes' victory over the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters.

Surprisingly enough, Fighters starter Keisaku Itokazu was chief among them.

Itokazu walked in the Buffaloes' first two runs, and Shogo Akada and Takahiro Okada took care of the rest as Orix earned a 8-4 victory on Tuesday night at Tokyo Dome.
