Kingfishers Use Late Rally to Win
Yokohama turned a good effort from starter Shigeyasu Hirayama into a win over the Sapporo Bears at Sapporo Stadium. The Kingfishers won the game, 5-2. Yokohama is now 27-29, Sapporo 34-22.

Yokohama used the timely hitting of Tadami Ishii to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Kingfishers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Hirayama.
