Late Rally by Kingfishers Locks Up 7-4 Win
Thoki Kaneshige, who finished 2nd in the EL in triples with 9 in 1961, led Yokohama to a win over Kyoto. The final score was 7-4. Kaneshige scored 2 times, while going 3 for 4. The right fielder also was credited with 1 run batted in. Yoisuke Nishizawa closed it out for Yokohama, earning his 1st save. The win moves Yokohama to a record of 8-5.

Kazuomi Hirata came through with a big-time hit for Yokohama. The pinch hitter smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 6-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"That's what I love about baseball," said Kaneshige. "No matter how good or how bad you did, you get to wake up the next day and start all over."
