Kyoto Breaks Through for First Win in BAN Championship Series; Now Trails 2-1
The Kyoto Owls have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Kobe Bulls, winning, 5-1, at Owls Park. Owls right-hander Kento Okada threw 7.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Owls to 2-1 in the best-of-7 BAN Championship Series.

Okada delivered a quality start for Kyoto. The 5-foot-11 right-hander allowed 1 earned run on 2 hits over 7 innings of work.

Okada offered a curt "no comment" when asked to discuss the win after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Owls Park in Kyoto.
