Sonoda Helps Yokohama Outscore Rakisuta
The Yokohama Kingfishers beat the Rakisuta Rams in a game featuring much hitting but not much pitching. The final score was 13-11, Kingfishers. One of the hitting stars was third baseman Fujimaro Sonoda. Sonoda, who finished 3rd in the EL in wins above replacement with 4.9 in 1966, belted 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The Kingfishers go to 15-26, putting them 5th in the Eastern League.

With Yokohama leading 10-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Sonoda batted against Rakisuta pitcher Shungo Yasuda. Sonoda hit a fastball to left-center for a 2-run home run. His 5th home run of the season put the Kingfishers on top, 12-3.

Rakisuta manager Kinzo Yoshimura expressed his frustration after the game: "That many runs and it still wasn't enough?"
