Bay Stars Win at Hiroshima Toyo, 7-6
Despite a fine performance by center fielder Rafael Escoto, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp suffered a 7-6 loss to the Yokohama Bay Stars. Escoto was 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Teiichi Yamamoto locked down his 2nd save. Yokohama now sits at 12-22, while Hiroshima Toyo falls to 14-20.

Contributing to the Yokohama win was Mitsuyoshi Sakamoto. In the top of the ninth, the 22-year old third baseman had a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, the Bay Stars in front.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Michael Younger.
