Kingfishers Stay Hot With 3-2 Win | Fans watched the Yokohama Kingfishers and the Hosho Reliables fight to the finish.
The Yokohama Kingfishers wanted a good start from Tatsuo Sato -- and he delivered one. The result was a 3-2 Yokohama win over the Hosho Reliables at Kanagawa Stadium. Hosho has now lost 4 in a row.
With Yokohama leading 2-0 in the bottom of the second, Sato hit a run-scoring single off Hosho hurler Shinki Kimura. It was the 13th hit of the season for Sato and put his team ahead, 3-0.
"We're one win closer to our goal," Sato said in postgame remarks. | |
