Onodera hits 2 home runs to Light Owls Fuse
No one was more impactful than Sukeichi Onodera in the 14-8 Kyoto win over Yokohama. Onodera, who finished 5th in the EL in batting average with .300 in 1962, was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Kento Okada. He tossed 121 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 5 runs on 6 hits. The second-place Owls improved to 33-24.

Kyoto won the game in part because of Minehiro Smith. The center fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Owls ahead, 6-5. For the game, Smith had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Banging out wins is what it's all about," said Onodera.
