Hamasaki goes 4-for-4 in Sailors Win
Muneyuki Hamasaki led Osaka to a win over Kobe. The final score was 12-4. Hamasaki scored 3 times, going 4 for 4. He also knocked in 2 runs batted in. The winning pitcher was Yuushirou Watanabe. His record is now 7-11. The left-hander went 9 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits for the Sailors. After today's action, Osaka sits at 44-48, while Kobe falls to 44-46.

Osaka used the bat of Baku Minami to get the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Sailors ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Minami told the Osaka Chronicle. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
