Stars Snatch Late Win
Shunsuke Murata had a good game, but he could not keep the Kobe Bulls from falling, 9-6, to the Nagasaki Stars at Matsunoki Stadium. The Kobe third baseman went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk in the loss. The winning pitcher was Akimasa Murakami. His record now stands at 11-3. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 6 runs on 13 hits for the Stars. Masato Yamamoto earned the save, his 11th in 16 tries.

Nagasaki used a timely hit from Hirotsugu Araki to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars ahead, 8-6. It might've been his only hit, but it did the trick.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Araki told the Nagasaki Citizen.

The first-place Stars, at 46-34, now lead their division by 3 games.
