The Kyoto Owls and Yokohama Kingfishers completed their game despite the rain.

The Kyoto Owls defeated the Yokohama Kingfishers, 8-4, in Eastern League action at Kanagawa Stadium. Akihito Otani pulled his weight. The 19-year veteran was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Yokohama now has a record of 2-5.

Kyoto won the game in part because of Minehiro Smith. The center fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Owls ahead, 5-3. For the game, Smith had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Smith.
