Hirai Stars as Stars Top Sailors, 8-6
Nagasaki and Osaka duked it out and the Stars came out victorious.

The Nagasaki Stars beat the Osaka Sailors, 8-6, at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. The win was due in part to left fielder Teruhi Hirai, who went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Kiyohiro Okazaki, credited with the save, is now 2 for 7 in save opportunities.

Ryoji Nakagawa drew 1 walk in his only trip to the plate for Nagasaki. The 25-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring walk off Yataroh Niwa. It was his 4th walk of the season.

In comments to the Nagasaki Citizen, Hirai admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."

The Western League-leading Stars have a record of 44-30.
