Swallows Beaten By Carp, 3-1
The HT Carp picked up a win at Meiji Jingu Stadium, downing the YT Swallows, 3-1. On the mound for HT was right-hander Reira Fujii, who played a pivotal role in the win. Geronimo Franzua was credited with the save for HT, his 2nd of the season. HT raised its record to 27-18 with the win.

HT used the timely hitting of Estamy Urena to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Carp on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Hiroyuki Nakajima.
