Sailors Deal Stars 8-2 Loss
Spirited fans greeted the Nagasaki Stars for their clash with the Osaka Sailors.

Boosted by the 3-hit performance of Kikuichi Shirai, who finished 5th in the WL in on-base percentage with .350 in 1955, the Osaka Sailors defeated the Nagasaki Stars, 8-2. The victory puts Osaka at 27-50.

In the top of the first, Shirai had a 2-run home run for Osaka. It was his 16th home run of the season and put the Sailors on top, 2-0.

"What a dismal performance," lamented losing manager Eddie Roseman.
