| Sailors Post 4-3 Win | At Konohana Stadium, the Kinboshi Kites and Osaka Sailors were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.
The Osaka Sailors beat the Kinboshi Kites, 4-3. Osaka pitcher and Higashiyamato, Japan, native Tetsushou Kobayashi led the way. In 8.2 innings, Kobayashi surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 2. He allowed 3 runs. Haruki Ogawa nailed down his 6th save.
In the top of the sixth, Kojiro Urushihara delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Osaka catcher hit a run-scoring single, putting the Sailors in front, 4-3.
Osaka manager Bill Sherrill commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
Despite the win, the Sailors still have a lousy 24-57 record. | |
