Yonekichi Okazaki made an impact in the 5-4 Yokohama win over Denki. Okazaki, who finished 3rd in the EL in slugging percentage with .510 in 1961, was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The loss puts Denki at 2-7.

Souhei Tamura drove in one run for Yokohama. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Munehiro Toyama. It was his 5th RBI of the season.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Okazaki.
