Conditions were not ideal but Nagasaki and Vesutan were able to put their game in the books.

No one was more impactful than Shou Okuda in the 9-4 Nagasaki win over Vesutan. Okuda, who finished 2nd in the WL in triples with 14 in 1959, went 3-5 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 3 times. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for Nagasaki.

Shuuhei Yamashita cracked a home run off Michito Yanagi in the bottom of the seventh. His 2-run blast put the Stars on top, 4-3. In all, Yamashita had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Nagasaki manager Eddie Roseman.
