Owls Lose Contest, 3-2 | The Denki Dynamics earned a close win over the Kyoto Owls, thanks in part to Tom Hodges. The Denki right-hander played a key role in the 3-2 victory. The Dynamics saw their record improve to 30-58.
Denki used the timely hitting of Okura Ichimura to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Dynamics on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"Tom pitched his heart out," said Denki manager Tadashi Iwamoto. | |
