Stars Top Bulls, 7-3
Nagasaki and Kobe took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

A good performance from third baseman Yukiya Sakai helped the Nagasaki Stars defeat the Kobe Bulls, 7-3. Sakai was 2-3 with a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Stars. The Stars, now 59-41, have won 5 in a row.

The Bulls had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Stars going into the bottom of the third inning. That changed quickly when the six-time All-Star Teruhi Hirai came to the plate. Hirai hit a 3-run home run on a 2-1 fastball from Kobe hurler Kyouhei Sakata. It was Hirai's 13th home run of the year.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Nagasaki manager Eddie Roseman.
