Stars Use Late Rally to Win
The Nagasaki Stars picked up a win at Kotei Stadium, dropping the Osaka Sailors, 5-2. Yugoro Koyama was the difference-maker. Koyama yielded 2 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 1-0. The win takes Nagasaki to 4-4.

Nagasaki used the timely hitting of Kohei Bai to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

After the game, Nagasaki manager Okura Ichimura applauded the team's effort. "We put some good AB's together," he said.
