Nagasaki Topples Fukuoka, 4-3
The Nagasaki Stars picked up a win at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, topping the Fukuoka Falcons, 4-3. On the mound for Nagasaki was left-hander Shinsaku Shiraishi. He played a principal role in the triumph. The Stars, now 3-1, have hit the ground running this season.

Shozo Sakata had a big 3-run home run for the Stars in the bottom of the third inning. With Nagasaki leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 37-year old right-handed pitcher Iwao Yamamoto and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Stars on top, 4-0.

"Shinsaku mixed and matched," said Nagasaki manager Okura Ichimura.
