Shimada Slugs Owls to 4-1 Win
The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

The Kyoto Owls topped the Rakisuta Rams by a score of 4-1. Leading the way was third baseman Tomonori Shimada. Shimada was 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Owls. Hyotaru Saito, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

Shimada contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Kyoto in the bottom of the first. With his team trailing 1-0, Shimada took a curveball from Kisaku Arita and stroked the home run to right. His 7th home run of the season allowed the Owls to leap in front, 2-1.

"Bottom line," said Rakisuta skipper Bob Lester, "we didn't play well enough to win."

The loss makes Rakisuta 20-23.
