At Kanagawa Stadium, the Yokohama Kingfishers and Kyoto Owls were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Kyoto Owls cruised to a win over the Yokohama Kingfishers, 12-4, at Kanagawa Stadium. Tensui Kato, who finished 5th in the EL in home runs with 18 in 1969, led the way, going 2-for-5 for Kyoto. Kyoto is flying high at 19-9.

With Kyoto leading 5-0 in the top of the fifth, Kato came up to bat against Yokohama pitcher Munenao Shintani. Kato hit a knuckle curve to right for a grand slam home run. His 8th home run of the season put the Owls on top, 9-0.

"We're a talented bunch when we're playing well," said Kato. "I think we showed that here."
