Kumamoto has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

With Kumamoto trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Metello hit a fastball from Derrek Christensen for a grand slam home run. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Mothra ahead, 5-3.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Metello.
