Tigers Earn 7-5 Home Win
Conditions were not ideal but HA and YT were able to put their game in the books.

YT third baseman Munetaka Murakami had a good game, even if his team did not. The Swallows dropped a 7-5 decision to HA at Hanshin Koshien Stadium. Murakami went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Masashi Ito got the win, improving to 4-3. He worked 6.2 innings, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 0.

Koji Chikamoto's at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning was a big one for HA. Coming to bat with no one out, runners on 1st and 3rd and HA trailing 5-2, the center fielder hit a run-scoring single.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Chikamoto said.

The Tigers sport a record of 18-28.
