Nagasaki Downs Osaka, 5-1 | The rain did not keep Nagasaki and Osaka from finishing their game.
Nagasaki Stars pitcher Takashi Masuda was in top form, leading his team past the Osaka Sailors, 5-1. The win was credited to Masato Yamamoto in relief. His record improves to 1-3. Yataroh Niwa took the loss.
Nagasaki went up, 3-1, on Shou Okuda's 12th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Okuda hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Osaka pitcher Yataroh Niwa shaking his head.
"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Okuda told the Nagasaki Citizen.
The triumph puts Nagasaki at 36-30 for the season. | |
