Kingfishers Rally to Nose Past Sapporo
The Yokohama Kingfishers had to overcome a good performance from Sapporo pitcher Arata Komatsu to claim a 3-2 win at Kanagawa Stadium. Komatsu went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. Reliever Hirotsugu Sasaki picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Senichi Soga, who finished 5th in the EL in saves with 12 last year, took the loss. Sapporo falls to 8-4.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Yokohama. That's when Yoshiyasu Maeda, who is tied for 10th in the EL with a .404 on-base percentage, hit a run-scoring double off Senichi Soga to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"It's a thrill to get that kind of win," Maeda said.
