Kingfishers Get 8-3 Win Versus Kyoto
The Yokohama Kingfishers overcame a good performance by Kyoto catcher Akira Yokota to knock off Kyoto, 8-3, at Kanagawa Stadium. Yokota went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was Bill Sauerwein. He's now 2-7. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits for the Kingfishers. Yokohama sits in last place in the Eastern League at 33-54.

Fujimaro Sonoda, who finished 5th in the EL in doubles with 25 in 1969, helped out the Yokohama cause in the bottom of the first inning with a run-scoring ground out. For the game, the third baseman was 1 for 3 with a walk.

Sonoda called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
