Lions Snatch Late-Game, 6-5 Win
The SS (Ni-Gun) Lions beat the YT (Ni-Gun) Swallows, 6-5, at Lions Baseball ground 2. SS (Ni-Gun) second baseman Takayoshi Yamamura had the hot bat. He was 3-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 4 runs. Hiroto Mori, who is tied for 8th in the EL in saves with 5, earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. He upped his record to 10-2. The third-place Swallows have lost 4 straight games.

The Lions were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when top prospect Yoshiki Nagata landed a big blow. He turned a 0-1 fastball from Remy Cordero into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Lions Baseball ground 2 denizens into a frenzy and sent the Lions home with a thrilling 6-5 win.

"Now that's my kind of ending," said a smiling Nagata.
