| Kingfishers Deal Rakisuta 2-0 Defeat | Kakuro Watanabe pitched a gem to lead Yokohama to victory over the Rakisuta Rams, 2-0. Rakisuta has now lost 4 in a row.
Yokohama used a clutch at-bat from Toyoji Iwamoto to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.
"It wasn't easy, but we got it done," said Iwamoto. | |
