Late Offense Lifts Osaka to 3-2 Victory
The Osaka Sailors and Fukuoka Falcons rewarded fans hoping for a nail-biter.

Osaka turned a good performance from starting pitcher Kinnosuke Shimabukuro into a 3-2 triumph over the Fukuoka Falcons at Kotei Stadium. Kuniaki Usui earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record is now 2-3.

The Sailors got a clutch hit from shortstop Atsumi Kamai. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Sailors.

"Kinnosuke can pitch. He moves the ball around," said Osaka manager Bill Sherrill.

The Sailors raised their record to 12-38.
