The Yokohama Kingfishers and Kyoto Owls riveted fans at Owls Park.

In a low-scoring contest between the Kyoto Owls and the Yokohama Kingfishers, Norikazu Takai was the X factor. The Kyoto right-hander spearheaded the 3-0 win. Kyoto sits at 9-5 in the early going.

Takai's performance can only be described as masterful. He notched 7 strikeouts in 8.1 innings while allowing 7 hits. Takai goes to 3-0 on the year with 12 strikeouts.

"Norikazu made some good pitches in some situations he needed to make them in," said Kyoto manager Tomoya Nagao.
