The Chunichi Dragons just don't know how to do anything the easy way. Which is a bit ironic, since their path to the Japan Series title just got a whole lot clearer.
Masahiko Morino lined a go-ahead single into left during the 10th inning and the Dragons victimized reliever Takahiro Mahara for the second straight night on their way to edging the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks 2-1 in Game 2 of the Japan Series on Sunday at Yahoo Dome.
"These are tough games, especially for us as the visiting team, but we got it done last night and again tonight," Morino said.
