Hancock drives in 6 runs as Stars Squeeze Past Fukuoka
William Hancock was the difference-maker for the Nagasaki Stars in what turned into a shootout with the Fukuoka Falcons. Hancock, who is tied for 7th in the WL in bases on balls with 66, went 2-for-3 in the 14-13 Stars win. Akimasa Murakami picked up the win, improving his season record to 16-4. He struck out 2 in 5 innings. Earning his 22nd save of the year was Masato Yamamoto.

With Nagasaki leading 9-8 in the top of the eighth, Hancock came up to bat against Fukuoka pitcher Yuushuu Nakata. Hancock hit a sinker to left-center for a bases-clearing triple. His 2nd triple of the season put the Stars on top, 12-8.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Hancock, "one at-bat at a time."

At 56-41, the Stars claim first place in the Western League.
