Kingfishers Win at Hosho, 9-6
In the 9-6 Yokohama win over Hosho, the impact of Kazuaki Mukai was substantial. Mukai, who finished 5th in the EL in slugging percentage with .419 in 1954, went 2-5 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Takuyuki Shimizu earned the save for Yokohama, his 9th. The Kingfishers are now 23-23.

Yokohama used a clutch at-bat from Maro Kozuka to capture the win. The pinch hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a humdinger.

Kingfishers manager Hiroaki Shimada wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."
