Kingfishers Improve to 34-20 with 5-4 Win
The Yokohama Kingfishers defeated the Rakisuta Rams, 5-4, in part because of shortstop Daijiro Sato. Sato went 4 for 5 with 4 singles for the Kingfishers. Toshinori Osada, who is tied for 6th in the EL in holds with 2, earned the save for Yokohama. The Eastern League-leading Kingfishers are 34-20.

Yokohama used a timely hit from Fujimaro Sonoda to get the win. The third baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 4-3. It might've been his only hit, but it did the trick.

"I was a little disappointed," said Rakisuta manager Bob Lester. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
