Kobe Dispatched, 4-1, by Nagasaki
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Nagasaki Stars and Kobe Bulls.

Kobe got a decent performance from pitcher Takeshi Miyazaki, but it wasn't enough to beat the Nagasaki Stars. Nagasaki won the Matsunoki Stadium contest, 4-1. Miyazaki threw 9.0 innings of 7-hit ball for the losing team. The Stars saw their record improve to 31-26.

Nagasaki used a clutch at-bat from Teruhi Hirai to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Stars ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

In comments to the Nagasaki Citizen, Hirai admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."
