Martinez Blasts Naturals, Fighters Take Game 4, 7-4
The Osaka Fighters and the Numazu Naturals will take the Wild Card Series to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation, the Fighters beat the Naturals, 7-4, at Ballpark of Yokohama to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Osaka designated hitter Alfredo Martinez was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3.

Emiliano Peretti was 1 for 3 with a walk against the Naturals. With the game tied in the top of the eighth inning, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run that put Osaka in front, 5-4.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Osaka manager Hiroshi Ogata told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Ballpark of Yokohama in Numazu.
