| Osaka 4-0 Losers to Stars | The Nagasaki Stars went home winners at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Yugoro Koyama. Koyama stifled the Osaka Sailors, enabling Nagasaki to grab the 4-0 win. Yoshiharu Fujitate got credit for the save for Nagasaki. It was his 7th of the year. The setback makes Osaka 37-64.
Michiki Ichikawa had a big 2-run home run for the Stars in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Nagasaki leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a cutter from Kinnosuke Shimabukuro, who finished 3rd in the WL in ERA with 2.49 in 1973, and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Stars on top, 4-0.
"I just try to bring what I bring to this team," said Koyama. | |
