Kingfishers Deal Rakisuta 3-2 Defeat
Yokohama turned a fine outing from starter Kinzo Yoshimura into a victory over the Rakisuta Rams at Kanagawa Stadium. The final score was 3-2. Hirotsugu Sasaki closed the game out for Yokohama, earning his 2nd save. Today's win puts Yokohama at 31-26, while Rakisuta falls to 28-30.

The Rams had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Kingfishers going into the bottom of the third inning. That changed quickly when the 1959 Most Valuable Player Award winner Tokita Oishi came to the plate. Oishi hit a 2-run double on a first pitch fastball from Rakisuta hurler Sadato Hayakawa. It was Oishi's 11th double of the year.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Yoshimura told the Yokohama Herald.
