Sailors Sneak By Stars, 2-1
The Osaka Sailors got a magnificent effort from pitcher Takahiko Kurata, who kept Nagasaki hitters in check en route to a 2-1 Sailors win at Kotei Stadium. Osaka now has a record of 10-9.

Fumiya Nakasone was the walk-off hero for Osaka. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Sailors left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Kurata attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."
