Stars 10-5 Winners Versus Kobe
Wet weather did not postpone the Nagasaki-Kobe ballgame.

Thanks in large part to second baseman Shozo Sakata, the Nagasaki Stars beat the Kobe Bulls, 10-5. Sakata went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The victory makes Nagasaki 5-1.

With Nagasaki leading 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Sakata hit a fastball from Tatsuharu Oto for a 2-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Stars ahead, 3-0.

"It's always fun to score a lot of runs," said Sakata.
