Ugusa Helps HT Cruise to 10-3 Win
The HT Carp beat the HNH Fighters, 10-3, at Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium. The Carp got a fine performance from center fielder Kohki Ugusa, who went 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 4 runs. The Carp, at 35-22, have now won 4 straight.

Ryoma Nishikawa was 1-4 with a walk. He drove in 3 runs for HT. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a 2-run single off Ryusei Kawano. It was his 69th hit of the season.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said HNH manager Kazuo Matsui.
