Nakasone Leads Sailors to Win
Osaka and Kobe took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Osaka Sailors polished off the Kobe Bulls by the score of 9-3. The largest share of the credit belonged to left fielder Fumiya Nakasone. Nakasone went 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 4 times and driving in 2 for the Sailors. The Bulls, now 4-10, continue their slow start.

Yoshio Ishikawa, who is tied for 7th in the WL in home runs with 3, aided the Osaka cause with a run-scoring walk in the top of the third. For the game, the first baseman went 2-4 with a double and a walk. He drove in 3 runs.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Ishikawa.
