In 11, Incheon Beats Seongnam, 3-0
The Incheon Braves faced a tough opponent in Seongnam pitcher Sota Tanoue, but found a way to pull out the victory at Oyama Athlete Park Baseball Stadium by a final score of 3-0 in 11 innings. Tanoue went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. Shohei Numata picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-1. Seiichi Higuchi, who is tied for 8th in the NOM in saves with 5, was tagged with the loss. The win puts Incheon at 34-22 this season.

Incheon got a clutch hit from Kanjiro Kuramoto. The right fielder launched a 3-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"Was I getting worried?" said Braves manager Kiichiro Ichikawa. "Nope." Then he added, with a wink, "There was never a doubt in my mind."
