Sailors Use Late Rally to Win
A good performance from first baseman Kikuichi Shirai helped the Osaka Sailors defeat the Kobe Bulls, 7-4. Shirai slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Sailors. Osaka pitcher Yukiharu Goto got the win. He's now 5-16. Shiroku Terada was tagged with the loss. The Sailors sport a record of 47-73.

Shirai had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 1-0 sinker from Shiroku Terada, he banged a 3-run home run to center, giving the Sailors a 6-4 lead. It was the 27th home run of the year for Shirai.

"When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Shirai. "I think we're going to keep proving that."
