Wet weather did not postpone the Osaka-Nagasaki ballgame.

The Osaka Sailors topped the Nagasaki Stars, 5-3, in Western League action at Kotei Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Osaka pitcher Marty Carroll. Carroll yielded 3 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 2. His record improves to 9-10. Earning the save was Yukinobu Nobuhara. He's now cashed in 3 of 6 save opportunities.

Naganori Yamada had a big 2-run home run for the Sailors in the bottom of the third inning. With Osaka leading 3-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a slider from Johnny Travis, who is tied for 10th in the WL with a 5.3 K/9 rate, and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Sailors on top, 5-1.

"We ground out the win," said Carroll. "That's all that matters."

By defeating Nagasaki, the last-place Sailors improved to 44-75.
