| Sailors Fall to Stars Late | Nagasaki right-hander Koson Mitsunaga shut out the Osaka Sailors, 1-0. Mitsunaga yielded no runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 3 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 3-4. The win puts Nagasaki at 27-26 this season.
The game-ending blow was delivered by Ryunosuke Kodama in the bottom of the ninth. That's when he hit a run-scoring double off 30-year old right-handed pitcher Marty Carroll to win it for Nagasaki and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.
"That's us at our best," Kodama told the Nagasaki Herald. "Pitching and trying to prevent runs." | |
