Owls Get Clutch Win Versus Denki | Katsuki Taira was a major factor in the 4-3 Kyoto win over Denki. The Owls right fielder was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The last-place Dynamics have lost 6 consecutive games.
John McDonald, who is tied for 10th in the EL in bases on balls with 38, had a direct impact on the outcome. McDonald contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the eighth inning to put Kyoto up, 4-3.
"Nice to tuck this win away," said Taira. | |
