Owls Pick Up 6-4 Win
Seishiro Kikuchi, who is tied for 9th in the EL with a 1.34 WHIP, was locked in. The right-hander led the Kyoto Owls to a 6-4 win against the Rakisuta Rams at Rakisuta Stadium. Kikuchi, now 4-4, was the winner. In 7.2 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 7, walking 2, and allowing 4 runs. Naizen Sano earned the save, his 6th, for the Owls.

Kyoto used the hitting of Koto Seki to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Owls on top, 2-0. For the game, Seki had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Not the sexiest win," said Owls manager Takejiro Yonemura, "but I'll take it."

Today's win puts Kyoto at 23-24, while Rakisuta falls to 23-25.
