| Stars Tag Kites with 3-1 Loss | The Nagasaki Stars topped the Kinboshi Kites, 3-1, in Western League action at Konohana Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Nagasaki pitcher and Fujimi, Japan, native Akimasa Murakami. Murakami, now 6-9, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 2, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. Tetsushi Kondo recorded his 15th save for Nagasaki.
It could have been a different outcome for Nagasaki, had it not been for Ryunosuke Kodama, the three-time All-Star . Kodama contributed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Nagasaki up, 3-1.
"Helping the team win is what it's all about," said Kodama.
The Stars are now 51-67.
