The HT Carp topped the CH Dragons by a score of 5-3 in 12 innings. Leading the way was third baseman Kaito Kozono. Kozono was 3 for 6 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Carp. HT pitcher Sotaro Shimauchi earned the win, hiking his record to 1-1. Yusuke Kinoshita suffered the loss. The win elevated the Carp to 19-13.

Kozono had a game-changing home run in the top of the 12th. On a 2-1 curveball from Taisei Urushihara, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Carp a 5-2 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Kozono.

"Our guys refused to lose," said Kozono.
