Sailors Score 3-2 Win Over Kinboshi
The Osaka Sailors wanted a good start from Kakuya Izumi -- and he delivered one. The result was a 3-2 Osaka win over the Kinboshi Kites at Konohana Stadium. Tom Drill collected save number 12. The win makes Osaka 52-42.

Osaka used the timely hitting of Ginnosuke Smith to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Sailors on top, 3-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"When I'm in the lineup, I always feel like we're going to win the game," said Smith.
