Fukuoka Wins, 4-3, Over Stars | Fukuoka pitcher Sadakazu Minami did his part in helping his team beat the Nagasaki Stars, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. The win gives Fukuoka a season record of 46-38.
Niito Katagiri, who finished 5th in the WL in slugging percentage with .440 in 1955, helped out the Fukuoka cause in the top of the sixth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the second baseman went 2 for 4 with a double.
"I was just trying to execute one pitch at a time," said Minami. | |
