The Daiei Hawks socked five round-trippers to overpower the Nippon Ham Fighters 9-6 on Monday.
Julio Zuleta led the way with a three-run homer in the second, followed by Nobuhiko Matsunaka's three-run shot in the third. Another Matsunaka homer and shots from Tadahito Iguchi and Kenji Jojima rounded out the score.
