The Yokohama Kingfishers beat the Rakisuta Rams, 5-2. Yokohama pitcher and Sanda, Japan, native Masatoshi Sakai led the way. Katsusaburo Yagi finished the game for Yokohama and earned his 2nd save. The win makes Yokohama 24-19.

Yokohama won the game in part because of Daijiro Sato. The shortstop ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 4-2. For the game, Sato had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"I still think this team can play even better," Sato told the Yokohama Herald.
