Bulls Drop 8-2 Decision
Nagasaki Stars starter Akimasa Murakami pitched a strong game against the Kobe Bulls at Matsunoki Stadium, leading the Stars to victory, 8-2. With the win, Nagasaki upped its record to 48-39.

Nagasaki used a clutch at-bat from Teruhi Hirai to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Stars ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Akimasa showed what he's made of," said Nagasaki manager Eddie Roseman.
