Sailors Score Late to Beat Stars, 7-6
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

Sailors center fielder Aki Sawada put his stamp on his team's 7-6 win over the Nagasaki Stars. Sawada went 2-5 with a home run and a triple, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Osaka in the contest. Takatsugu Miyamoto snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 2 innings. He's now 10-10 on the season.

The most important at-bat for Osaka came in the top of the ninth inning. With two out, Fred Anderson reached on an error by the 2B, driving in 1 run, putting Osaka up, 7-6.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Sawada.

The Sailors saw their record improve to 53-61.
