| Stars Earn Late Win | Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Nagasaki Stars and Osaka Sailors.
Osaka got a terrific performance from pitcher Marty Carroll, but it wasn't enough to beat the Nagasaki Stars. Nagasaki won the Kotei Stadium contest, 3-2. Carroll threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Norikazu Hamasaki was the winner in relief. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Haruki Ogawa. Picking up his 1st save was 23-year old left-handed pitcher Hyuuga Murata.
Nagasaki needed the clutch hitting of Taysuke Fujimoto to seal the deal. The center fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars on top, 3-2. For the game, Fujimoto had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"We made a couple of mistakes," said Osaka skipper Bill Sherrill, "and it cost us."
The loss drops Osaka to 13-15. | |
