Chunichi Dragons manager Hiromitsu Ochiai didn't watch Michihiro Ogasawara's last at-bat from the dugout. He didn't need to either. The cheers of the Yomiuri faithful told him all he needed to know.
Ogasawara hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth — long after Ochiai was ejected for arguing a close play at first — and the Yomiuri Giants earned their fourth consecutive win with a 6-4 victory on Tuesday at Tokyo Dome.
"I didn't do much in my first few at-bats, but that one swing made my night," Ogasawara said.
