Fighters Winners, 5-1, at Nagoya Baseball Stadium
The game between HNH (Ni-Gun) and CH (Ni-Gun) is in the books, despite a little rain.

Yuma Imagawa made an impact in the 5-1 HNH (Ni-Gun) win over CH (Ni-Gun). Imagawa, who is tied for 7th in the EL in runs scored with 27, went 2-3 with a home run, a double, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Isao Ikuta picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 4-2. Unpei Yamamoto suffered the loss.

It could have been a different outcome for HNH (Ni-Gun), had it not been for Shoto Kataoka, the 27-year old left fielder . Kataoka contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the fourth inning to put HNH (Ni-Gun) up, 3-1.

HNH (Ni-Gun) manager Yoshifumi Okada commended his team for exhibiting "no shortage of effort."

The Fighters, at 27-32, inhabit third place in the Eastern League.
