Naoto Yoshinaga, who finished 2nd in the WL in wins with 17 in 1959, propelled his team to victory over the Kobe Bulls. The final score was 8-3, Nagasaki. The second-place Stars now have a record of 65-47.

Nagasaki took the lead, 5-3, on Binya Nishi's 18th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Kobe pitcher Yasuhiko Hidaka in the top of the seventh.

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