Sailors Topple Stars with Late Rally
The Osaka-Nagasaki game took longer to complete because of the rain. But it was worth it for the home team in the end.

The Osaka Sailors beat the Nagasaki Stars, 7-4, at Kotei Stadium. Naizen Takahashi, who finished 5th in the WL in doubles with 33 in 1956, starred for Osaka. He went 1-1 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Sailors raised their record to 51-52.

Takahashi won the game for Osaka when he homered off Masato Yamamoto in the bottom of the ninth.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Takahashi. "It sure beats the alternative."
