Kingfishers Get 6-4 Win Versus Kyoto
The Yokohama Kingfishers handed the Kyoto Owls a loss at Owls Park. The final score was 6-4. Major production was provided by Fujimaro Sonoda for Yokohama. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 2. He also added 1 walk. Fumimaro Yamauchi was the winner. He's now 3-0. The loser was 25-year old left-handed pitcher Naizen Sano. Hirotsugu Sasaki earned save number 2 this season.

Shigemitsu Fukui aided the Yokohama cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the second. For the game, the second baseman was 2 for 4 with 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Sonoda.

The Owls fall to 9-11 and continue their lackluster start to the 1963 season.
