Road Win Lifts Iga to 3-0 Lead in CS
Riding the 3-hit performance of left fielder Micho Fujimoto, the Iga Shinobi got a road win against the Matsuyama Kawauso, 7-4, in Game 3 of the League Championship Series. Fujimoto went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Shinobi, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 0.

Had Fujimoto not come through in the top of the ninth, the outcome might have changed. Instead, with two down, Fujimoto hit a bases-clearing double. The Shinobi never looked back after taking the 7-4 lead.

"We haven't stopped playing," Matsuyama manager Ricardo Santiago said. "We didn't get this far to give up."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Kawauso Stadium in Matsuyama.
