Kingfishers Pull Out Late Win, 2-1 | Hosho got a big-time effort from pitcher Shinki Kimura, but it wasn't enough to keep the Yokohama Kingfishers from winning the game, 2-1. Kimura threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Yokohama reliever Katsusaburo Yagi was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Kinichi Ota. The win gives Yokohama a season record of 17-15.
The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Yokohama second baseman Yoshiyasu Maeda, facing Kinichi Ota, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Kingfishers the 2-1 win.
"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Maeda said. | |
