Naturalists Take Down Morning Swords, 6-5
The Muju Naturalists did just enough to secure a victory over the Suwon Morning Swords, 6-5, at Hwaseong Fortress Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Rick McPherson. Seiichi Nakashima, now 2-0, was credited with the win. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. Muju is 35-26 and Suwon, with the loss, 43-18.

Muju used the timely hitting of Juan García to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Naturalists on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," García told the Muju Daily.
