Katsuya Kakunaka didn't look comfortable being on the hero interview. At the level he's playing right now, he had better get used to it.
Kakunaka drove in the winning run on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th inning and the Chiba Lotte Marines continued their dominance of the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks with a 3-2 win on Saturday afternoon at QVC Marine Field.
Kakunaka had a chance to end the game with two away in the ninth, but struck out with runners on first and second.
