Late Rally by Kingfishers Secures 8-6 Win
Due in large part to center fielder Souhei Tamura, the Yokohama Kingfishers sunk the Kyoto Owls, 8-6. Tamura was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Yokohama leads the Eastern League by 3 games.

The result might have been different, had it not been for former first round draft pick Fujimaro Sonoda. Sonoda had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 8-6. For the game, Sonoda had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Tommy McDonell.
