Nomura, Rams Fall to Kingfishers
The Yokohama Kingfishers besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Rakisuta shortstop Hideharu Nomura by beating the Rams, 5-4, at Rakisuta Stadium. Nomura was 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Yokohama reliever Yoisuke Nishizawa was the winner. His record is now 4-1. Gunji Matsuda took the loss. Yokohama goes to 11-13.

Zenko Yoshida delivered a big hit for Yokohama. The pinch hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"At the end of the day, wins and losses are really the only thing that matters," said Yoshida.
