Stars Pull Out Late Win, 4-3
The rain could not keep the home crowd from enjoying a good ballgame.

The Nagasaki Stars dealt the Osaka Sailors a 4-3 loss at Kotei Stadium. Teruhi Hirai, who finished 3rd in the WL in OPS with 1.059 in 1957, was the star on offense. He belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Masato Yamamoto earned the save for Nagasaki, his 17th.

Hirai had an important at-bat with a runner on 1st in the top of the sixth, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Stars went on to win.

Hirai called the win "a team effort."

With this game in the books, Nagasaki is 63-51, Osaka 45-72.
