"I'm happy to be in this and city, I'm happy to get my first home win tonight," he said.
"The fans are amazing. I was very excited coming to this game. The guys gave us the boost tonight and helped us in this win."
Nick Mayo and Naoto Tsuji added 16 and 13 markers, respectively, for the Dragonflies.
It was Hiroshima's 29th win.
