Owls Victors, 5-2, at Yokohama
The Kyoto Owls got a rain-soaked win over the Yokohama Kingfishers.

Kyoto Owls pitcher Yukiharu Goto whisked his team past the Yokohama Kingfishers, 5-2. Kyoto reliever Naizen Sano snagged the win, upping his record to 2-3. Masatoshi Sakai shouldered the loss.

Kyoto used the timely hitting of Koto Seki to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Owls on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Seki.

The win gives Kyoto a season record of 31-30.
