Kingfishers Win, 8-6, at Kyoto
The Yokohama Kingfishers powered past the Kyoto Owls, 8-6, at Owls Park. Toyoji Iwamoto went 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times, to lead the charge. Masaru Ryu, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. The loss makes Kyoto 45-38.

Yokohama needed the clutch hitting of Ikuto Shinseki to seal the deal. The left fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Kingfishers on top, 8-6. For the game, Shinseki had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Iwamoto, "one at-bat at a time."
