| Stars Beat Sailors, 3-1 | Nagasaki Stars starter Yugoro Koyama hurled his team past the Osaka Sailors, 3-1. The Stars are now 21-19, while the Sailors fall to 11-30.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Michiki Ichikawa? The Nagasaki shortstop had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Stars on top, 2-0. For the game, Ichikawa had 2 doubles and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
Ichikawa said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate." | |
