Buffaloes Take Tight Tangle
The Buffaloes grabbed a win, 6-5, at Ajisai Stadium Kita-Kobe, overcoming a fine effort from CH (Ni-Gun) pitcher Shota Fukushima. Fukushima went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. OR (Ni-Gun) reliever Takara Tsujigaki picked up the win. Kazuto Taguchi, who is tied for 4th in the WL with a 8.4 K/9 rate, took the loss for CH (Ni-Gun). The victory gives the Buffaloes a record of 44-37.

OR (Ni-Gun) took a 6-5 lead on Kozo Kagawa's 16th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Kagawa hit in the bottom of the eighth, left CH (Ni-Gun) pitcher Kazuto Taguchi visibly frustrated.

"Ah," said Kagawa in a jubilant clubhouse, "the sweet smell of victory!."
