| Sailors Nip Falcons, 6-5 | Osaka and Fukuoka put this game in the books despite some rain.
The Osaka Sailors topped the Fukuoka Falcons by a score of 6-5. Leading the way was catcher Kousei Ota. Ota went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Sailors. Natsuhiko Sugiura, the winning pitcher, is now 1-4. He went 6.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 4. Picking up his 2nd save was 28-year old right-handed pitcher Yataroh Niwa.
With the game tied in the top of the fifth inning, Ota had a clutch at-bat. That's when he drew a walk, driving in 1 run to give the Sailors a 3-2 lead.
"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Ota told the Osaka Observer.
The win has Osaka at 11-19.
