| Stars Drop Bulls, 3-1 | In a low-scoring tilt between the Nagasaki Stars and the Kobe Bulls, 24-year old right-handed pitcher Roku Yamakawa was the difference-maker. The Nagasaki right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Yamakawa picked up the win for Nagasaki, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 3-5. Nagasaki, at 47-34, is 4 games up in the Western League.
The result might have been different, had it not been for 30-year old third baseman Shuuhei Yamashita. Yamashita had a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars ahead, 3-1. For the game, Yamashita had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.
"Every loss hurts," said Kobe manager Joe Davis. "But this was a tough one."
