Million Stars Capture 7-6 Win at Moriyama Municipal Stadium
In the 7-6 Cheongju win over Gyeongju, the impact of Yoshiyuki Machida was substantial. Machida went 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. The win went to Nobuo Tamura in relief, making him now 1-0. Masayuki Matsuyama took the loss for Gyeongju. With their winning streak at 5, the Million Stars have raced to a strong start this season.

Cheongju needed the clutch hitting of Isao Okazaki to seal the deal. The designated hitter swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Million Stars on top, 7-6. For the game, Okazaki had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Okazaki told reporters after the game: "Close wins always feel extra good."
