Sailors Pull Off Thrilling 5-4 Win in Extras
The Osaka Sailors took Kinboshi pitcher Akahito Takizawa's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Konohana Stadium. The final score had Osaka getting past the Kites, 5-4. Takizawa went 8 innings and allowed 4 runs, striking out 9. Yuushirou Watanabe was the winner. Over 9 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 11 hits, with 5 walks and 2 strikeouts. The Sailors raised their record to 46-50.

Osaka used the timely hitting of Reiji Nakahara to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Sailors on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"To not win that game stings a little bit," said Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa.
