Matsumura has 4 hits in Sailors Win
The rain came, as predicted, but the Osaka Sailors and Nagasaki Stars were able to complete their ballgame.

The Osaka Sailors grabbed a win, 13-7, over the Nagasaki Stars at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. Osaka third baseman Bunmei Matsumura was 4-6 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. The loss drops the Stars to 4-7.

In the top of the fifth, Osaka center fielder Toshimichi Ishii had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and no one out, Ishii stroked a 2-run single to right-center. It made the score 5-4, Osaka. For the game, he went 1-4 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Matsumura told the Osaka Times.
