The Osaka Sailors defeated the Nagasaki Stars, 9-2. Right Fielder Kesanori Kikuchi deserved a large share of the credit. Kikuchi was 1-4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Sailors. The Stars fall to 4-8 and continue to sputter in the early going.

With Osaka leading 3-1 in the top of the fifth, Kikuchi hit a fastball from Tatsuki Goto for a grand slam home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Sailors ahead, 7-1.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Osaka skipper Heikichi Kawasaki.
