Seongnam Sunk by Changwon, 1-0
In a tight tilt between the Changwon Grandserows and the Seongnam Raptors, Dai Kato was the deciding factor. The Changwon right-hander spearheaded the 1-0 win. Takaomi Kaneko recorded the save, his 1st. Seongnam, with the loss, is still a stout 3-1.

Kunio Nishijima drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate for Changwon. The 21-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With no one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Seiichi Higuchi. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Kato told the Changwon Herald.
