	Win : Saitoh, M. ( 16W 7L )
	Lost: Inoue, Y. ( 4W 3L 5S )
	HR: G Mack 15

[Saitoh releived Miyamoto in the middle of the game (4th or so)
 to be the winning pitcher.  Matsui got the game-ending hit on
 bases loaded with 1 out at the 10th.  The hit might become
 not only game-ending but also season-ending :-)  Anyway, the
 Carp are going to have 2 important games against the Swallows
 from Sep. 5]


Dragons    | 0 0 0   0 0 0   0 2 0 | 2

[The BayStars won with the game-ending hit of Hatayama.
 Tomori, who is a 9 year player, pitched very well and
 almost won for the first time but he gave up 2 runs to be
 tied at the 8th]

	Win : Takahashi, K. ( 6W 6L )
	Lost: Maeda ( 2W 6L )
	HR: B Fujii 10
	    M Hatsushiba 21

[The BlueWave has beaten the Marines again.  Somehow Maeda is not
 good when he is a starter.  Since the Lions lost, the magic number
 became 7]

	Lost: Uchiyama ( 2W 3L )
	HR: F Tanaka 22, Ducey 21,22
	    H Akiyama 17

[Gross could not get shutout :-)  Tanaka has tied to the top
 in RBI race, and the third place in HR king race.  In fact,
 I can't even guess who will be the homerun king because I've
 never seen such low-level homerun king race]

	HR: D Kouyama 1, Tatsunami 9,10

[Tatsunami hit the game-ending homerun.  BTW, there was a quiz
 that when the Tigers will get the 60th win (it is 60th anviversary
 for the Tigers this year) but there is no solution to the quiz :-)]

 SP is the sum of saves and wins in relief.
 Since the Marines won, the magic number was cut to 4]

	Win : Nishiyama ( 4W 1L 4S )
	Lost: Morita ( 6W 3L 4S )
	HR: G Yoshioka 2
	    B Komada 5

[The BayStars caught up the Giants at the 7th, hitting Nishiyama.
 But Morita allowed 3 runs at the 8th after he got two out in two
 batters.  Kohmura's game-winning infield hit seemed to make Morita
 lose concentration.  Young Giant players, Yoshioka and Kohmura, seem
 not to give up the pennant yet:-)]

	Win : Bross ( 12W 5L )
	Lost: Saitoh, M. ( 16W 8L )
	HR: S O'Malley 29, Furuta 19

*** No hit no run by Bross ***
[Bross has become the 64th pitcher who achieved no hitter.  The last
 no hitter in Central League was by Makihara on May 18, 1994 (perfect
 game) and in both league by Satoh on August 26, this year.  The last
 no hitter by a foreign pitcher in Central League was by Gene Bacque of
 the Tigers  on June 28, 1965 against the Giants and in both leaues by
 Kaku Taigen on June 4, 1985. 
 He pitched perfect until 1 out of the 8th.  His 96th pitch hit pinch
 hitter Ohmori on his right foot, which was the only runner he allowed.
 His stats is as follows:

        IP  SO BB HB  Ground out  Fly out(IF)  Fly out(OF)  pitches
 Bross   9  10  0  1       8          3            6         124

 Swallow fielders helped Bross in many times.  In paticular, I should
 mention two fine fieldings at the 8th.  The top batter of the inning
 was the 4th batter Ochiai.  He hit a foul fly on the first-side
 cameraman stands.  O'Malley caught it with his body put into the
 stand.  The other play was the third out of the inning.  Kawai hit
 a low line drive to right.  Right fielder Inaba, who is a rookie,
 dived and caught it.  I think that Inaba would not have dived if
 Bross would not continue no hitter.
 I should say about Giant pitcher Saitoh, who allowed only 2 homers
 until two out of the 8th, which means both pitchers were perfect
 till the end of the 4th.  Saitoh allowed only 5 hits in total]

[Blue Wave closer Hirai couldn't keep lead.  Kokubo has led 4 in

	HR: Hori 11, Hatsushiba 25

[The starter of the Marines was Komiyama who challanged to
 the title of the best ERA.  But he allowed a ER at the 5th,
 so he retired to give Irabu the chance to try the same title.
 Irabu pitched 4.1 innings with allowing no runs to be
 the best ERA pitcher now.  The season was finished for the Marines,
 so all that Irabu have to do is just praying]
