Sailors Rally to Win
Osaka pitcher Kinnosuke Shimabukuro had a large part in his team beating the Nagasaki Stars, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Shimabukuro got the win, improving to 4-12. He gave up 8 hits and walked 1 over 8 innings. He allowed 3 runs. Haruki Ogawa earned the save for Osaka, his 11th of the year.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Jiro Koda came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Nagasaki pitcher Tetsushi Kondo, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Osaka on top, 4-3.

"Good win for us," said Koda. "Now we'll focus on the next one."

The win has Osaka at 30-71.
