Nagasaki pitcher Dick Champ got the win. He's now 4-1. Kiyoshi Inouye was tagged with the loss. The loss makes Vesutan 21-26.

Matsuda broke a deadlock in the top of the eighth inning, when he hit a sacrifice fly, putting Nagasaki up, 5-4.

"This is not a one-man show," said Matsuda. "A lot of the guys stepped up."
