Carp Squeeze By HNH, 4-3
The HNH Fighters could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Jon Lawrence into a win. Instead, the HT Carp prevailed, 4-3. Lawrence threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Sotaro Shimauchi snagged the win in relief. He goes to 4-2 on the season. Mizuki Hori suffered the loss. The first-place Carp have a one-game lead in their division.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when HT catcher Shogo Sakakura, facing Eito Tanaka, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Carp the 4-3 win.

"This house was rockin'," Sakakura said.
