the Carp got chance of bases loaded with two outs. The batter hit a
grounder to the short stop... the batter dived to first but it seemed
to be out. However, the call was safe. I'm very surprised because
a bad call for the Giants can be seen rarely :-)]

Win : Kawahara ( 4W 4L )
Lost: Kawajiri ( 6W 6L )
HR: G Gotoh 4, Ochiai 15
[The Tigers lost last 5 games against the Giants with shut out games.
In both running and fielding, the Tigers played too bad: At the bottom
of the 3rd, the 2nd runner Gotoh tried to steal base and the catcher
threw the nice ball to the third fielder Coolbaugh who couldn't tag
the runner out. At the top of the 4th, the Tighers had chance of the
2nd and 3rd runner with 1 out, but the 2nd runner Hiyama was picked
up out]

D Nakamura 7, Yamaguchi 3
[Yamabe, the starter of the Swallows, pitches not very well
in last 3 games. I watched this game at the Nagoya stadium
till the end of the 6th (since I had to return to Tokyo :-).
At the top of the 3rd, O'Malley hit a double when the runners
were on the 1st and the 3rd base with 2 outs. The left fielder
and the short stop played very well to return the ball to the
catcher so it seemed to me that the 1st runner was thrown out
at the home plate, but the position of the catcher Nakamura was
not very good and he allowed the runner to score (I comfirmed
it on TV at my house :-). Just after this play, Furuta hit a
2-run homer (But Nakamura hit a 3-run homerun at the 4th)]

*** No-hit-no-run game by Sato ***
[Satoh is now the eldest pitcher in Japan who achieved a no-hit-no-run
game. He is 40 years old and will be 41 soon (next month?). I know
that Ryan holds the world record 44, but considering that there are
few Japanese pitcher over 35, I think that Sato's record has the same
value as Ryan's. Satoh can still pitch fastball of 90 mph (144km/h).

FYI, except Sato, the eldest Japanese pitchers who achieved no hitter
is 32 years old.
