Yamakawa, Nagasaki Prevail in Pitchers' Duel
Roku Yamakawa, who is tied for 10th in the WL in strikeouts with 85, imposed his will on the Sailors from the get-go. Relying mainly on his splitter, the right-hander spearheaded the 1-0 Nagasaki triumph. The Stars lead the Western League by 2½ games.

Yamakawa, who dominated for Nagasaki, earned the victory to move to 8-8. He was in control the whole game, scattering 5 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 6. Osaka batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.

"Roku was hitting his spots and everything had life," said Nagasaki manager Eddie Roseman.
