| Sailors Down Bees, 3-1 | The Osaka Sailors in 12 innings beat the Vesutan Bees, 3-1, at Vesutan Stadium. Starting pitcher Marty Carroll was a major factor, holding his opponents in check all game. Matsu Nakamoto, credited with the win in relief, is now 3-4. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. Haruki Ogawa, credited with the save, is now 8 for 12 in save opportunities.
Osaka used the timely hitting of Satoshi Hino to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Sailors on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Carroll told the Osaka Chronicle. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
The Sailors, now 37-63, have won 5 in a row. | |
