| Stars Send Kinboshi Home with 7-5 Loss | Though he had a terrific game, Akichika Goto could not prevent his team, the Kinboshi Kites, from absorbing a loss. Nagasaki won the game, 7-5. Goto went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs. The winner was Akimasa Murakami, who threw 107 pitches over 7 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 7 hits. With the win, Nagasaki upped its record to 52-46.
In the top of the sixth, Nagasaki pitcher Akimasa Murakami had a run-producing at-bat. Facing Kinboshi hurler Akiho Komori, Murakami drew a walk, driving in 1 run. That made the score 5-3, Nagasaki. For the day, Murakami threw 7.0 innings allowing 3 runs.
"I was able to change speeds effectively tonight," said Murakami. | |
