Kingfishers Lose at Home, 7-4
The Yokohama Kingfishers overcame a good performance by Hosho catcher Jokichi Kono to knock off Hosho, 7-4, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Kono went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. Fumimaro Yamauchi was the winner. Over 6 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 7 hits, with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. Kinzo Yoshimura locked down his 2nd save.

The game was on the line with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning, but Kinzo Yoshimura didn't flinch. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and Hosho trailing 5-4, Yoshimura retired Bill Bloom to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Yoshimura, with a wink.

The win brings the Kingfishers to 5-4, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.
