Rams Deal Kingfishers 5-2 Loss
Rakisuta and Yokohama duked it out and the Rams came out victorious.

The Rakisuta Rams scooped up a win at Kanagawa Stadium, dumping the Yokohama Kingfishers, 5-2. Genya Ishii, who finished 4th in the WL in saves with 13 in 1958, was essential to his team's success. The win puts Rakisuta at 7-5.

Teiljo Otani, who is a three-time All-Star, aided the Rakisuta cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth. For the game, the catcher went 1 for 2.

Otani told a Rakisuta News reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
