The Rakisuta Rams defeated the Kyoto Owls, 5-4, in Eastern League action at Rakisuta Stadium. Rakisuta pitcher Juro Esaki had a standout performance. Gunji Matsuda recorded his 6th save for Rakisuta. The win elevated the Rams to 20-18.

Glen McCauley had a big run-scoring double for the Rams in the bottom of the third inning. With Rakisuta leading 4-1 and a runner on 1st, he got a sinker from Takamitsu Fujiwara, who led the EL in ERA with 1.67 in 1969, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rams ahead, 5-1.

"This was a good win," said McCauley.
