Yamashita, Owls Too Much for Rams
Hiroshi Yamashita was a major factor in the 7-6 Kyoto win over Rakisuta. The Owls catcher was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Picking up the win was Ukita Tomita. He went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. The right--hander struck out 4 and walked 2. Picking up his 6th save was 28-year old right-handed pitcher Kenshin Kon.

Early in the game, Yamashita had a 3-run home run for Kyoto. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Owls on top, 3-0.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Kyoto manager Tomoya Nagao.

The loss drops Rakisuta to 14-11.
