Shingo Kawabata did it again. So did the Swallows.
Left-handed 23-year-old hitter Kawabata came up with a go-ahead two-run double in the Swallows' four-run eighth inning as Tokyo Yakult sank the Hanshin Tigers 7-4 at Jingu Stadium on Thursday night.
With the win, the Central League-leading Swallows extended their winning streak to four. It was Hanshin's fourth consecutive loss.
