Nagao Goes Distance in 3-1 Win
Sapporo Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Sapporo Bears and Hosho Reliables.

The Hosho Reliables got great pitching from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Niou Nagao, allowing them to bump off the Sapporo Bears, 3-1. At 20-19, the Reliables find themselves in 4th place in the Eastern League.

Nagao was effective for Hosho, seldom allowing the Bears to square up a pitch. The right-hander tossed 108 pitches over 9 innings. He limited Sapporo to just 1 run on 4 hits.

"I'll be honest," said Nagao. "I was running on fumes at the end."
