Hosho Reliables starter Kiyoharu Kawamoto pitched well against the Yokohama Kingfishers at Nagoya Minami Stadium, leading his team to a win, 5-2. Kawamoto picked up the win for Hosho, going 8.1 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 3-0. The Kingfishers, now 4-8, continue their inauspicious start.

Ryunosuke Kodama, who finished 3rd in the WL in stolen bases with 20 in 1969, came through for Hosho with a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth. The center fielder went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 1 RBI.

"We take it day by day here," said Kodama, "and today was a good one for us."
