Sakata, Stars Humble Bees, 12-1
Shozo Sakata led Nagasaki to a win over Vesutan. The final score was 12-1. Sakata collected 2 runs batted in, while going 4 for 4 at the plate. The second baseman also scored 3 times. The Bees, now 20-25, have lost 4 in a row.

Nagasaki used a clutch at-bat from Sakan Inoue to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Stars ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Vesutan manager Jack Fletchings called the blowout loss "a real bummer."
