Yokohama Topples Rakisuta, 10-4
Rakisuta Stadium was the site for Eastern League action featuring the Rakisuta Rams and Yokohama Kingfishers.

In the 10-4 Yokohama win over Rakisuta, the impact of Yoshiyasu Maeda was substantial. Maeda, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1950 draft, was 2-4 with 2 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times. The winning pitcher was Toshinori Osada. His record now stands at 6-7. The left-hander went 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits for the Kingfishers.

In the top of the first, Yonekichi Okazaki ambushed a first pitch curveball from Kisaku Arita and hit a 2-run home run. It gave Yokohama a quick 2-0 lead.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Okazaki.

The Kingfishers go to 51-50, putting them 4th in the Eastern League.
