| Kingfishers Earn Win with Late Rally | Due in part to right fielder Toyoji Iwamoto, the Yokohama Kingfishers chopped down the Sapporo Bears, 5-4, in 12 innings. Iwamoto went 3 for 3 with 2 home runs and 3 walks. Yokohama has now won 3 straight, while the Bears have lost 3 in a row.
The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 12th. With one out, Iwamoto hit a splitter from Taishi Yoshimura for a solo home run. The Kingfishers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.
"The crowd was raucous," said Iwamoto. | |
