Stars Suffer 6-3 Setback
Nagasaki got a terrific performance from pitcher Akimasa Murakami, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kinboshi Kites. Kinboshi won the Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium contest, 6-3. Murakami threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. The win belonged to Kannon Kato in relief. His record improves to 6-3. Masato Yamamoto took the loss for Nagasaki. The first-place Kites bumped their record to 61-41.

Kinboshi used a timely hit from Shichiro Nakada to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Kites ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"The team is playing at a high level," said Kites manager Kaita Kurosawa.
