The Yokohama Kingfishers faced a tough opponent in Sapporo pitcher Kento Okada, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Sapporo Stadium by a final score of 6-4. Okada went 5.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Kinzo Yoshimura, who finished 2nd in the EL in wins with 14 in 1950, was the winning pitcher. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. The save went to Toshinori Osada, number 11 for him.

Yokohama won the game in part because of Yoshiyasu Maeda. The first baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 5-0. For the game, Maeda had 1 double and 1 home run in 3 at-bats.

"Young guys to old guys," said Maeda, "we're all going out there and doing what it takes to win."

Now 50-28, the Kingfishers have won 11 games in a row.
