| Martin Delivers Walk-Off Win for Kingfishers | The Yokohama Kingfishers gave their fans something to talk about with a thrilling, walk-off win.
The Yokohama Kingfishers faced a tough opponent in Rakisuta pitcher Kinichi Harada, but found a way to pull out the victory at Kanagawa Stadium by a final score of 3-0 in 10 innings. Harada went 9 innings and allowed no runs. Yokohama reliever Yoisuke Nishizawa picked up the win, while Sadato Hayakawa took the loss for Rakisuta.
Yokohama got a clutch hit from Bibb Martin. The first baseman jolted a 3-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.
Martin called the win "a team effort."
The last-place Kingfishers bumped their record to 26-42. | |
