Owls Use Late Surge to Win
Kyoto and Denki put this game in the books despite some rain.

Seishiro Kikuchi, who is tied for 4th in the EL in wins with 8, had a strong outing for the Kyoto Owls against the Denki Dynamics at Kanda Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 7-3 win. The 5th-place Owls are 38-39.

Kyoto used the timely hitting of Bungo Arai to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Owls on top, 6-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Main thing is I want the team to win," Kikuchi told a reporter after the game. "Just have to go out there, take care of my job, and give my team a chance to win."
