Owls Topple Dynamics, 4-1
Kyoto and Denki duked it out and the Owls came out victorious.

Kyoto pitcher Norikazu Takai did his part in helping his team beat the Denki Dynamics, 4-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The second-place Owls have won 4 straight games.

Sukeichi Onodera, who finished 3rd in the EL in hits with 140 in 1965, took Denki hurler Tsuneari Nakai deep in the bottom of the seventh. His solo home run put the Owls on top, 2-1. In all, Onodera had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 3.

"Norikazu was able to execute his pitches," said Kyoto manager Tomoya Nagao. "Simple as that."
