Stars Suffer One-Run Loss at Osaka
The Osaka Sailors and Nagasaki Stars played an entertaining game for Kotei Stadium patrons.

Getting offensive support from Kikuichi Shirai, the Osaka Sailors topped the Nagasaki Stars, 5-4. Shirai went 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and was hit by a pitch for the Sailors. Fumimune Iwamoto snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-1 on the season. Naoto Yoshinaga suffered the loss. Yataroh Niwa was called on to finish, recording his 8th save.

Osaka took a 5-4 lead on Ginnosuke Smith's 15th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Smith hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Nagasaki pitcher Naoto Yoshinaga visibly frustrated.

"We'll try to build on that win," Shirai told the Osaka Observer.

The win puts Osaka at 46-72.
