Stars Chop Down Bees, 9-4
Nagasaki second baseman Ienari Fujimori was instrumental in helping the Stars triumph, 9-4, over the Vesutan Bees. Fujimori was 3-5 with 3 doubles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Nagasaki pitcher Takashi Masuda got the win, upping his record to 6-1. Tetsuya Watanabe got the loss. The second-place Stars lifted their record to 29-24.

Nagasaki used the timely hitting of Yoshitomo Nakano to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars on top, 7-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Winning is the only objective," said Nakano after the game.
