Hiyama sparks rally as Tigers sweep BayStars

Sep. 2 (Nishinomiya)-- Pinch-hitter Shinjiro Hiyama came through in the clutch with a bases-loaded two-run single with two outs in the sixth inning as the Hanshin Tigers rallied to sweep the Yokohama BayStars in three games in a 6-3 win on Thursday night.

The Tigers, who had been explosive scoring double digits in the previous three games for a total of 35 runs, were more subdued but got the job done to win their fifth in a row and improve their CL lead to two games against the idle second-place Yomiuri Giants.

Tomoaki Kanemoto had a run-scoring single to help widen the lead in a three-run seventh before a Shuichi Murata RBI double narrowed the gap in the eighth inning at Koshien Staadium.

Randy Messenger (4-4) allowed two runs -- one earned -- and five hits in six innings and Kyuji Fujikawa was perfect in the ninth for his 22nd save. Shigeru Kaga (3-8) took the loss. (Kyodo)
