Late Offense Lifts Osaka to 4-1 Victory
The skies opened up and the rain fell at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium.

Osaka beat Nagasaki on the strength of starting pitcher Tetsushou Kobayashi's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 4-1. The last-place Sailors bumped their record to 26-60.

Osaka used a clutch hit from Kojiro Urushihara to get the win. The catcher drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Sailors ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

"Nice to get this one," said Urushihara. "We've been scuffling."
