Kingfishers Get Past Rakisuta, 3-2
Getting an impressive start from Kiyoji Nakamura, Yokohama beat Rakisuta by the score of 3-2. Zenzo Watanabe was credited with the save for Yokohama, his 1st of the season. So far in 1975, Yokohama is 17-30.

Toshio Hamada went 2 for 4 with 2 singles for Yokohama. The 25-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Juro Esaki. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"You have to win 1-0, 3-2, 2-1 games if you want to get to where you want to go," said Kingfishers manager Johnny Ruby.
