Yokohama Kingfishers starter Takeshi Watanabe turned in a sterling performance against the Kobe Bulls, leading his team to a slim 3-2 win. The Kingfishers go to 27-48 with the win.

Yoshikatsu Urata had the most critical at-bat for Yokohama. With one in the top of the ninth inning, Urata hit a first pitch fastball from Heikichi Kawasaki for a run-scoring double. It put Yokohama in front, 3-2.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Watanabe.
