Carp Hold Off Tigers, 3-2
Starting pitcher Ryoji Kuribayashi gave the HT Carp a rock-solid performance, helping his team defeat the HA Tigers, 3-2, at Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium. Fernando Romero earned the save for HT, his 2nd. The victory gives the Carp a record of 44-27.

HT took a 3-2 lead on Shogo Sakakura's 18th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Sakakura hit in the bottom of the seventh, left HA pitcher Kohei Morihara visibly frustrated.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said HA manager Shigetoshi Hasegawa, "let me know."
