The Fukuoka Softbank Hawks clinched the Pacific League pennant on Sunday the 26th when second place Seibu lost to the Nippon Ham Fighters in Sapporo. The Hawks had to stage a furious charge over the last nine days of the season to overtake the Lions, and finally did on the last day of the season. It is the Hawk’s first title in seven years, the 14th in their franchise history (including their days as the Nankai Hawks), and their first under Softbank ownership.
