Kawauso Blanked by Sakai
The Matsuyama Kawauso were almost helpless in their 7-0 loss to the Kumamoto Kuma and hurler Tokutomi Sakai. Sakai kept the Kawauso confused all game, spinning a 6-hit shutout.

"Tip your hat to Sakai," Matsuyama manager Robert Malcolm said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night."

The 27-year-old right-hander had 1 walk and 5 strikeouts in a strong performance.

"It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play," Sakai said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way."

On the season, Sakai has 3 wins and 4 losses and a 3.70 ERA.
