The Kingfishers got a big at-bat from first baseman Bibb Martin. For the game, Martin went 1 for 3 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 3rd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Yokohama a 2-1 lead.

"We're going through a bad spell," said Rakisuta manager Kinzo Yoshimura.
