Sailors Edge Past Kites, 4-3
The Osaka Sailors scored a tight, 4-3 win versus the Kinboshi Kites at Konohana Stadium. Osaka pitcher Genpaku Matsumoto held his own in the contest. The Sailors raised their record to 41-72.

Osaka used the timely hitting of Jiro Koda to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Sailors on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Koda said.
