Sailors Rally to Tally 7-3 Win
A 4-RBI performance from Yoshio Ishikawa, who is on pace to hit 37 home runs this season, helped the Osaka Sailors beat the Vesutan Bees, 7-3. At 36-35, the Sailors find themselves in 4th place in the Western League.

Ishikawa had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a full count sinker from Haruki Ogawa, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Sailors a 5-3 lead. It was the 21st home run of the year for Ishikawa.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Ishikawa. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
