Win Goes to Sailors in Tight Contest
The Osaka Sailors got a good effort from starter Takahiko Kurata in defeating the Fukuoka Falcons at Fukuoka Stadium. The final score was 4-2. The Sailors go to 35-90, putting them last in the Western League.

Osaka got the win thanks to a clutch hit from Hiroji Orido. The pinch hitter stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Sailors ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it had a major impact on the outcome.

"Obviously, you want to go out there and be good every time out," said Kurata. "I take the ball every day with the same mindset."
