Kuma Take Tight Tangle
The Kumamoto Kuma topped the Iga Shinobi, 5-4, in Southern League action at Kuma Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Kumamoto pitcher and Higashiosaka, Japan, native Tokutomi Sakai. The Kuma improved their record to 31-21 by beating Iga.

Miguel Ángel Novoa was the walk-off hero for Kumamoto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Kuma pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Kumamoto manager Frank Buttery called it "a darn good win."
