Led by Binya Nishi, the Nagasaki Stars downed the Fukuoka Falcons, 7-6. Nishi went 3-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Stars. Nagasaki reliever Yutaka Kameda was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Tousei Ishibashi took the loss. Picking up his 1st save was 30-year old left-handed pitcher Tetsushi Kondo.

Nishi had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a 1-0 splitter from Tousei Ishibashi, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Stars a 3-2 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Nishi.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Nishi told the Nagasaki Herald. "It's as simple as that."

The win puts Nagasaki at 3-2.
