Naturalists Deal Whales 6-4 Defeat
Muju second baseman Yoriie Murata was a significant contributor in his team's 6-4 triumph over the Busan Whales. He was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs for Muju. Nobuhiko Osawa, now 2-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. Goro Takahashi earned the save, his 14th.

Neel Fransen was 1-2 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs for Muju. The 20-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Lance Albracht. It was his 6th walk of the season.

"We ground out the win," said Murata. "That's all that matters."

The Naturalists, at 38-28, sit in third place in the Intercontinental Baseball Coalition Hanguk League.
