Sailors Win, 9-7, Versus Fukuoka
The Fukuoka Falcons could not turn a fine performance from catcher Meguru Morioka into a win. Instead, the Osaka Sailors prevailed, 9-7. Morioka went 2-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Osaka pitcher Takatsugu Miyamoto got the win, upping his record to 9-7. Yuushuu Nakata got the loss. The 4th-place Sailors have a record of 50-50.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Osaka. That's when Fumiya Nakasone hit a 2-run home run off former first round draft pick Yuushuu Nakata to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"This one wasn't over until it was over," Nakasone said, postgame.
