Late Rally by Kingfishers Secures 6-4 Win
Fans were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Kyoto Owls take on the Yokohama Kingfishers.

The Kyoto Owls got a sterling performance from pitcher Seishiro Kikuchi, but the Yokohama Kingfishers still prevailed, 6-4. Kikuchi threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The first-place Kingfishers have a one-game lead in their division.

Souhei Tamura came through with a big-time hit for Yokohama. The center fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 6-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Yokohama manager Tommy McDonell was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard," he said.
