Sailors-Bulls Game Tied, 4-4
Not every game ends with a clear winner. Case in point: the tightly-contested game between Osaka and Kobe, which ended in a tie, 4-4.

Kikuichi Shirai did all he could to help his team scratch out a win. He went 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. But it was not enough.
