Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks host Rock Ice‑sponsored game, extend season‑best win streak

On July 12, 2026, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks will play the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles at the Mizuho PayPay Dome in a Rock Ice‑sponsored "Rock Ice(R) Cool Day". The event will feature free samples of the brand’s small‑grain ice product, distribution of replica "Hawk Festival SUMMER BOOST 2026" uniforms, and an Instagram follow‑and‑like campaign that will award 100 fans with additional replica uniforms.

Earlier in the week, on July 7, 2026, the Hawks recorded a second straight victory, raising their seasonal savings total to a record‑high 18. The win came after a tight contest against Orix, with key contributions from the lineup, including a first career pinch‑hit home run by 柳田悠岐 (Yanagida) and decisive two‑run hits by near‑mid‑season starters. The team’s pitchers limited the opposition and secured the comeback, extending the Hawks’ momentum into the upcoming Rock Ice‑sponsored matchup.
