Big Day for Yamashita as Owls Down Bears, 9-5
Wet weather did not postpone the Kyoto-Sapporo ballgame.

Hiroshi Yamashita impressed in the 9-5 Kyoto win over Sapporo. Yamashita, who finished 4th in the EL in slugging percentage with .576 in 1972, went 2 for 2 with a home run, a double, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The victory gives the Owls a record of 59-50.

Tamotsu Endo, who finished 3rd in the EL in triples with 8 in 1965, helped out the Kyoto cause in the top of the second inning with a run-scoring ground out. For the game, the second baseman was 1-5.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Yamashita.
