HNH (Ni-Gun) beat YDNA (Ni-Gun) at Yokosuka Stadium, eking out a 5-4 win. The triumph was primarily due to third baseman Shota Hiranuma. He went 2-3 with a double. HNH (Ni-Gun) reliever Ryuji Kitaura snagged the win, upping his record to 1-0. Shun Ishida shouldered the loss. HNH (Ni-Gun) has a record of 35-45, placing them 4th in the Eastern League.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Naotaka Nozaki? The top prospect Nozaki stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put HNH (Ni-Gun) up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Hiranuma told a HNH (Ni-Gun) Daily reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
