The Nagasaki Stars picked up a win at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, knocking off the Kobe Bulls, 10-2. Starting pitcher Naoto Yoshinaga was a big reason why.

Teruhi Hirai, who finished 3rd in the WL in slugging percentage with .561 in 1958, had an important at-bat. With two out in the bottom of the third, he hit a 2-run home run. His 8th home run of the season put Nagasaki on top, 3-0.

"The Stars definitely had our number," said Kobe manager Joe Davis.
