Sailors Get Extra-Inning, 8-7 Win
The Osaka Sailors beat the Vesutan Bees, 8-7, in 10 innings. Osaka third baseman Zeshin Abe, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 1-1 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Kuniaki Usui picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 4-3. Tadataka Ohira suffered the loss. The Sailors improved to 17-45.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the tenth when Tomohito Takahashi hit a run-scoring double off 31-year old left-handed pitcher Tadataka Ohira to win the game for Osaka. The home crowd went wild.

"I like that statistic at the end of the game where there's another run for our team than the other team has," said winning manager Bill Sherrill.
