Sailors Collect 7-3 Win Versus Fukuoka
Ginnosuke Smith knocked in 3 runs to help Osaka beat Fukuoka, 7-3. The Nishinomiya, Japan native tallied 1 single and 1 home run. Osaka pitcher Itaru Takayama got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Ryunosuke Saito got the loss. The Sailors now own a record of 12-12.

Osaka won the game in part because of Fumiya Nakasone. The second baseman ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Sailors ahead, 3-2. For the game, Nakasone had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Osaka manager Heikichi Kawasaki was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys went out there and put good wood on the ball," he said.
