For the second time this season the Tokyo Yakult Swallows today won a game on a walk off grand slam. The first time was back on April 2nd when Atsushi Ugumori beat the Baystars in the bottom of the tenth. This time it was Takahiro Araki beating the Dragons in the bottom of the ninth. Here's a highlight video of the game - Araki's at bat starts at about the 0:50 mark:
