| Kingfishers Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Bears | Yokohama Kingfishers starter Masatoshi Sakai pitched well against the Sapporo Bears at Kanagawa Stadium, leading his team to a win, 5-4. Toshinori Osada came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 2 innings. His record now stands at 2-1. The win brings the Kingfishers to 7-4, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.
George Lacey was the walk-off hero for Yokohama. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Kingfishers first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.
"That was a good game -- all the way through," said Lacey.
