Sailors Get Past Fukuoka for 2-1 Win
The Osaka Sailors and Fukuoka Falcons put on a pitchers' duel.

In a low-scoring affair between Osaka Sailors and the Fukuoka Falcons, pitcher Atsuhiro Smith was the difference-maker. The Osaka left-hander handcuffed the opposition, to help his team pocket a 2-1 win. Choei Teramoto recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 5 for 7.

Kikuichi Shirai came through with a big-time hit for Osaka. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I executed the game plan," said Smith.

The win gives Osaka a season record of 55-46.
