In 10, Yokohama Beats Sapporo, 6-4
The Yokohama Kingfishers picked up a win at Kanagawa Stadium, dropping the Sapporo Bears, 6-4, in 10 innings. Munenao Shintani, the 2nd overall pick in the 1971 draft, was the difference-maker. The win went to Yoisuke Nishizawa in relief, making him now 3-0. Yukinobu Nobuhara took the loss for Sapporo. Sapporo drops to 6-11.

Yokohama got a critical at-bat from Kunisada Kimura. The catcher stroked a 2-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was huge.

"We just battled, never quit, and continued to grind out at-bats trying to create some opportunities," said Yokohama manager Masayoshi Nozawa.
