The game between OR (Ni-Gun) and HT (Ni-Gun) is in the books, despite a little rain.

Getting offensive support from Teruaki Tsukamoto, the OR (Ni-Gun) Buffaloes topped the HT (Ni-Gun) Carp, 4-0. Tsukamoto went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Buffaloes. The Western League-leading Buffaloes have a record of 29-18.

Kenichi Matsui had a big 2-run double for the Buffaloes in the bottom of the third inning. With OR (Ni-Gun) leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a changeup from Shu Hara and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 14th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Buffaloes ahead, 3-0.

"We did the things it takes to win a ballgame," said OR (Ni-Gun) manager Terrmel Sledge.
