Kyoto Owls (46-46) 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 1 1 6 12 1
Yokohama Kingfishers (53-32) 1 0 1 0 0 0 6 1 X 9 13 2
With 9-6 Win, Kingfishers Go to 53-32
Good production from third baseman Fujimaro Sonoda helped the Yokohama Kingfishers topple the Kyoto Owls, 9-6. Sonoda was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs for the Kingfishers. Hirotsugu Sasaki, credited with the save, is now 7 for 9 in save opportunities. Yokohama leads the Eastern League by 6 games.

Had Hitoshi Onishi not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Onishi hit a 2-run single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Kingfishers.

"It was a solid, all-around game for us," said Yokohama manager Tommy McDonell.
