| Stars Take Tight Tilt, 3-2 | The Nagasaki Stars locked up a win at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, knocking off the Kobe Bulls, 3-2. On the mound for Nagasaki was right-hander Yugoro Koyama. He played a major role in the triumph. In 7 innings, Koyama surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. The save was credited to Tetsushi Kondo, his 5th.
Michiki Ichikawa dealt the Bulls a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with a runner on 2nd and Nagasaki leading 2-0, Ichikawa, who finished 3rd in the WL in slugging percentage with .490 in 1970, hit a first pitch sinker for a run-scoring single.
"Yugoro did a nice job," said Stars manager Okura Ichimura.
After losing, Kobe is 10-7. | |
