Naturalists Procure 4-3 Victory
The Muju Naturalists defeated the Busan Whales, 4-3, at Pusan Field. Leading the charge for Muju was right fielder Yukinaga Higashi. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Getting the save was Yoshimi Kojima, his 5th. Muju, with the win, is 7-15.

The game turned with no one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Higashi hit a 2-run home run off Greg Wheelock. It propelled the Naturalists into the lead, 3-1.

After the game, Muju manager Giomar Matteotti applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
