Dragons Victors, 2-1, at YO (Ni-Gun)
In a tight contest between the CH (Ni-Gun) Dragons and the YO (Ni-Gun) Giants, Naotake Nomura was the determining factor. The CH (Ni-Gun) left-hander sparkled in his team's 2-1 win. The winning pitcher was Nomura, now 2-0. He tossed 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 4. Kazuto Taguchi notched his 2nd save in 2 chances.

Yumito Yamada, who is tied for 5th in the WL with a .388 on-base percentage, had a direct impact on the outcome. Yamada contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put CH (Ni-Gun) up, 2-1.

"Tough loss," said YO (Ni-Gun) manager Wei-Yin Chen. "This one will sting for a while."

The Dragons now have a record of 37-42.
