Sailors Knock Off Stars at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium
The Osaka Sailors reigned over the Nagasaki Stars in damp conditions.

The Osaka Sailors went home winners at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Takahiko Kurata. Kurata stifled the Nagasaki Stars, enabling Osaka to grab the 4-1 win. Kurata picked up the win for Osaka, going 8.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 10 hits. He now sports a record of 6-6.

Osaka used the hitting of Naganori Yamada to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Sailors on top, 4-1. For the game, Yamada had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Yamada.

Osaka is now 25-59, Nagasaki 38-44.
